Free Writing Workshops in Chorley and Preston

After a flying start with the first two workshops, Lancashire Libraries are pleased to announce the second set of creative writing sessions held in libraries as part of the Adult Learning Revolution.

On Wednesday 21st October novelist and award-winning blogger Jenn Ashworth will be holding creative writing workshops in Chorley and Preston as part of her month-long residency for the Lancashire Library Service.

For the early birds, the first workshop takes place in the meeting room at Chorley Library between 9.30 and 11.30am. It's called 'A Sense of Place' and is aimed at beginners or more experienced writers who want to build up their confidence in creating strong descriptions and settings in their writing - poetry or prose. The workshop is FREE and to book yourself a place all you need to do is contact Chorley Library on 01257 277222.

Later on in the afternoon from 2.30 - 4.30pm Jenn will be in Preston at the Records Office on Bow Lane. She'll be working with some of the archive material available and using gentle creative writing prompts to help participants create short pieces of fiction or poetry. Again, this workshop is suitable for complete beginners or more experienced writers, is open to the public and is completely free to attend. To book yourself a place, contact the Records Office on 01772 533039.

All participants of both workshops will have the opportunity to submit work for inclusion in a book, which we hope to publish at the end of the residency.
