Our first Creative Writing community workshop was fantastic - we had 11 people (not all wanted to be in the picture, which we absolutely respect), and we spent the day talking about plot, structure, characters, and more broadly, the magic of storytelling.

@RachelSargeant3 @uniofglos @DuncanDicks @AndrejevicSenja @scotteditorial So glad to hear that you enjoyed it, thank you for spending the day with us and we hope to see you again!
