Creative Writing sessions
I'll be running a series of Creative Writing workshops in Sidmouth and Exmouth in 2025.
The workshops will offer a range of practical and inspiring exercises to develop your writing skills. You'll learn how to create convincing characters, develop intriguing plots and use writing prompts and free exercises to explore your creativity.
Writers at all levels of experience are welcome and although sharing work is encouraged there's absolutely to pressure to do so if you would rather not.
Feedback from students from previous workshops included:
"I enjoyed the writing exercises and was surprised by what I was able to create in a short space of time"
"Maria has a warm, enthusiastic approach to teaching that helps everyone in the group get in touch with their creativity"
"I arrived at the workshop feeling self-conscious but by the end I was happy to share my work"
"It was a hugely enjoyable session bursting with creativity, energy and imagination with much merriment along the way. I'm already looking forward to the next session"
I'm an experienced journalist, author and writing tutor and have lectured at Bristol and Cardiff Universities as well as many literature festivals. For more details do contact me at maria@mariamccarthy.co.uk
