WiP2 Writing Workshops at Fareham Live
Thanks to Fareham Live for inviting WiP2 to deliver their writing workshop programme. WiP2 helps hundreds of local writers across venues from Cosham to Clarence Pier, from Petersfield to Fratton. We’re seeing our writing community thrive, from writers starting their journey to many enjoying publication day.
“Will is great teacher. I found his workshop inspiring – pitched at the right level for me when I was in the state of mind where I wasn’t sure if I could call myself a writer. Confidence is everything when you’re writing. His workshop helped me realise that we all have a unique voice that’s never been heard before, but no one will hear it, if you don’t just WRITE.”
Workshops 2-4 pm, third Friday of the month, for writers of all levels
23.1.26 Inspiration to Full Stop— William Sutton
Get started with your writing. How do we develop ideas? How to build on intuition? What techniques and discipline can bring our writing goals closer? We explore inspiration, character, plot, voice, theme.
“More than good value for money”“Loved interacting with the other participants.” “I’ve benefitted from Will’s infectious enthusiasm.”Novelist William Sutton is a dynamic and engaging tutor whose workshops have helped many writers from first steps towards publication.
20.2.26 Writing Your Life: “I Come from…” — Christine Lawrence
A welcoming and fun two-hour workshop to explore how we can use life experiences to add depth and colour to our writing, whether novel, play, poetry or short story.
“Informative, interesting and inspirational.”“I always love Christine’s workshops – so welcoming.”“Dynamic tutor”Christine Lawrence has published five novels set around Fareham, Portsmouth and Hampshire. She runs the writing workshop programme at the Pallant Centre, Havant.
20.3.26 (2.30-4.30pm) Writing for Procrastinators— William Sutton
Mañana, mañana. Does your writing linger in your drawer? Come and be coaxed into breaking through. Turn weaknesses into strengths. Develop characters, settings, plots, endings. Crash through blocks and get words on the page in these friendly, informal workshops.
“What a brilliant workshop!”“I’ve realised I need to keep in touch with a group of writers to keep my own novel at the front of my mind – instead of procrastinating!”“Tutor was dynamic, knowledgeable, encouraging, empathetic.”17.4.26 Write Your Crime Novel— William Sutton
Knife in the back, arsenic in your cocktail– how will you kick off your crime novel? Encompassing mystery, cosy crime and detective, crime writing crosses over with thrillers, suspense, historical, supernatural, fantasy, and sci-fi. This friendly, informal workshop helps you develop ideas — characters, plot, world-building — moving your story from inspiration towards an achievable project. (Several previous participants now published!)
“Stimulating”“Loved the use of objects and photographs to stimulate ideas.”“Enjoyed being challenged and encouraged.”
