This is a great opportunity for people of different sexual orientations, gender diversity, faiths, ethnicities, disabilities and ages to come together as one to create stories of identity that does not necessarily correspond to established ideas within society. This will culminate in a Literary festival to be held on Saturday 21st June.

By the end of the course, I will be able to:

Have you a good command of English? Have you got experience of creative or factual writing? Have you got finished stories, memoirs, poems, novels, or factual work
that are just filed away and gathering dust? Do you have a yearning to get your work published or could you be the next Matt Cain? If the answer is yes, then our short introductory course is ideal to nurture, inspire and support you to get those words into print.

By the end of the course, I will be able to:

List and/or explain three separate ways to get my work published
