About this event

  • Event lasts 3 hours

Struggling with your manuscript? Stumped on the perfect word for your poem? Or can't quite get your character's motivation to click in your script? Then come along to our little writers club where you can share your work and gain valuable feedback with local writers in your community.


How it runs:

A week in advance of your booked session, I'll ask you to send through the piece of writing you'd like to workshop along with any questions you'd like help with (please keep submissions to 4000 max). Everyone's work will then be circulated via email so we can read and make notes over the week.

On the night itself, we then jump straight into workshopping and spend about 20-30 mins per person going through what we liked about the piece along with any feedback we might have to help you improve the work.

I run the club every two weeks so you can choose your own deadline, so come to one, come to all; come to some, come to none! It's all incredibly informal with writers from all different stages coming together to help one another out.


Attendance is free, but booking is essential as we have a capacity to make sure everyone present gets their time to workshop.


This is a safe space with all forms of writing and all types of writers welcome!


Run by myself, if you have any questions, feel free to send them to me, Jordan, via email: jordanwillis81@gmail.com or instagram: @bettersameworse


Organized by

Having studied film, screenwriting, and creative writing my favourite part of each course was workshopping ideas with other writers. Receiving that valuable feedback from fresh eyes when I had read and reread my work a hundred times, convincing myself it was all shit. On the verge of throwing everything away and setting the bin on fire, it was my peers that helped me see the gold I had along with the bits that could use a little tweaking. In need of this community once again, I have formed a writers club to both help and be helped by those on the same difficult and rewarding journey that is creative writing.
