A creative writing workshop with a difference – it’s got nothing to do with you! We write for the joy of other people: little letters, poems, stories, love songs. Practise gift writing to get out of your own story for a bit. A lovely relaxing workshop with a bit of meditation and light movement thrown in. Bring three names of people you will write to, some writing equipment, and a spirit of generosity and creativity.

TLC Events Feedback
- “The TLC Writers Day was really valuable to me. I met lots of fellow writers in a friendly and conducive atmosphere and each session was highly informative. I learned about a multiplicity of ways to promote myself and my novel, about the author-publisher relationship and what agents and publishers look for in a novel as well as new ways to energise my writing.”
TLC Writers' Day 2018
- “The workshop was thought-provoking and gave me plenty of sources for continuing my learning. It also provided me with ideas and material which I can immediately use to enhance the novel I am writing. Andrew managed to include us all and gave me confidence and enthusiasm to continue.”
Online Writing Workshop ‘Perfect Plotting’ with Andrew Wille
- “An inspirational two hours : a character that prior to the workshop had only been a name became a human with depth and a past I never even knew were there.”
Online Writing Workshop ‘Crafting Characters’ with Kit de Waal
- “TLC’s Edit That Book workshop gave a real insight into the process of getting a book published. The value of having an industry expert sharing their knowledge cannot be underestimated. I went away with a variety of tips that I might not have found elsewhere that will ultimately make my writing better, more engaging, and hopefully more likely to be picked up by an agent or publisher in the future.”
Online Writing Workshop ‘Edit that Book’ with Phoebe Morgan
- “Shelley Weiner is a pro – not only in her knowledge of and ability to share insights into the the writing process, but also of creating inclusive and safe environment. We had a very wide range of participant experience – from beginners to published authors, but the faced-paced workshop was designed in a way that it was useful to everyone. Many thanks to Shelley and to TLC for organising this.”
