$45
The New Year is an ideal time to jump-start your writing for 2025 with a summer writing day at my Writing Place in Arkles Bay, Whangaparaoa.
Join me and other writers for a relaxing and creative day of writing exercises, engaging craft discussions, and enjoyable conversations to ignite and energise your imagination.
Spaces are limited and fill up quickly, so reserve your place for my annual writing day now.
Welcome to the Writing Salon ...
The day begins with coffee, tea and warm-up exercises to get the creative wheels in motion. We'll then have some discussions and write to specific prompts that highlight aspects of our craft.
After a lunch break (please bring your lunch), you'll have time to write on your own and have a 15-minute individual coaching session with me before we meet up again for some more group writing.
There will be time during the day to share your work with the group. This is entirely optional - there's no pressure to present to the group unless you'd like to.
... and it's still just $45 for the day ...
No price increase for the Summer Salon ...
It's been a tough year all round and, as a working writer, I know all too well how hard it is.
The Salon was $45 in 2024 and it'll remain $45 in 2025, and booking and paying is easy in my Shop. Book and pay here and I'll see you in 2025!
