Description
A structured creative writing workbook exploring character, setting and storytelling.
This printable guide is designed for quiet writing sessions at home ~ a gentle space to experiment, imagine and build stories without pressure. It breaks creative writing into playful, manageable exercises that help you develop confidence, voice and narrative structure, whether you’re starting from scratch or returning to writing after a long break.
Rather than abstract theory, this workbook walks you through a guided studio-style course ~ the same style of prompts used in our in-person creative writing classes ~ helping you create immersive worlds, believable characters and meaningful plots step by step.
This workbook can be used as a standalone tool, or as a companion to the classes and courses we run throughout the year.
