On Saturday 22nd of August 2015 we are holding an all-day writing workshop called Conquering the Blank Page led by award winning writer Janis Mackay. The day is aimed at writers who have only just started writing or those looking to get back into it. The day will be spent developing writing ideas from the initial thought to the basis of a poem or story. We will look at all the basics element of writing such as creating characters, setting and points of view. The aim is that at the end of the session you’ll have, at least, the start of a story or poem if not a first draft.

However, anyone who has come to any of the previous workshops led by Janis will know that whatever stage you are at as I writer you will get something out of the day. Our venue will be the East Barn of Nether Dechmont Farm situated in near Livingston North station in Livingston.More details can be found below the break.
