WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
Ever come up with a seemingly-brilliant idea for a book but haven’t a clue where to begin? Is there a rough draft but you need some rigorous feedback to get galvanised? You are suffering from a case of ‘writer’s block syndrome’.
Dr Matthew Green is a critically acclaimed, and best-selling author. This creative workshop will take place in the gorgeous library of a luxury hotel in Covent Garden where, over tea and coffee, your literary journey starts to take shape.
Matthew believes that it is usually a lack of confidence and motivation rather than an innate absence of talent that holds people back. In this workshop, he will listen to your vision, help develop your themes and characters, and even craft a winning proposal.
TELL ME MORE
This workshop is ideal for any kind of creative writing project whether you’re writing a novel, poem, love letter, obituary, libretto, a memoir or a work of popular history or science. It doesn’t matter whether your project is fairly advanced or if you’ve yet to put a single word on paper.
A broadcaster and prolific public speaker as well as an author, Dr Green is well versed in tailoring ideas for different audiences and the workshop is appropriate for anyone regardless of their age, talent or experience. All you need is a vision, sense of adventure, and a willingness to make mistakes.
If you already have a manuscript, then Dr Green would love to read it in advance, so he can provide lucid, laser-guided feedback in person. Alternatively, if it’s reasonably short, just bring it along.
The sessions last three hours with a break to sharpen your pencils, as you start to learn the pleasure that comes from a blank page.

Trish was a lovely young lady who definitely has a passion for Hampton Court and was a great source of information. The bikes were easy to ride and it was just a perfect way to experience the Parks, the Thames and Hampton court palace. Highly recommended..
Thank you Claire! This was such a creative and relaxing session. Would have happily stayed all day.
Great fun day. Loads of attacking things with an angle grinder and bashing with hammers. What's not to love! It was superb change from my day-to-day sitting in front of a computer screen. And at the end, I have a fantastic firepit that burns anything and everything you put in it! Dead easy to light, very little smoke and ferociously hot - makes an excellent patio heater! My version even has some supports on the top for a bit of outdoor cooking. Perfect for a cast iron skillet.
We were four - Phoebe and Alison, who kind of knew their way around a dance-floor and Jack and myself. I'm not a fancer. I expected it to be painful. It wasn't. It was a lot to taie in but great fun and a terrific atmosphere.
Excellent and fun class. Raymond was a great teacher, very patient and encouraging. I look forward to using my sake set once glazed and fired.
The day began well, my wife has current mobility issues, as we walked very slowly from the car park to the palace the young female driver of the courtesy transit from the bus stop pulled up, unrequested and offered us a lift. A wonderful gesture, greatly appreciated. That set the tone for the rest of the day, we were delighted
