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.

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
Very good evening, the host was very warm and welcoming! We began the session as beginners and left the evening loving origami. Highly recommend :)
I have taken a star off for the venue as the Palm Court is not wheelchair accessible - indeed getting in to the hotel at all required a staff member going to get a ramp and us entering through the bar in a confined space. That aside, the experience was wonderful. Staff make a real effort to turn it into an experience describing the menu - both food and drinks - and making sure that a birthday among our party was acknowledged (pianist playing Happy Birthday and a special dessert), Special "Seaso...
Food was really tasty and unique for an afternoon tea, a selection of dishes. Definitely left feeling full and while the portions look small, there are lots of courses like a tasting course! Would recommend to visit again! You do have to pay a discretionary service charge at the end however.
Brilliant workshop...so much fun and a great way to spend an evening! I bought this as a first wedding anniversary gift for my husband (paper) and because we had our honeymoon in Japan! It couldn’t have been more perfect! Wonderful teacher and some great creations!!
This was gift for my two teenage sons and I tagged along as their chaperone. The professional photographer was great and hugely engaged & passionate about his subject. He brought it to life with the streets of Shoreditch as the backdrop. My son's enjoyed it and took some great photos. A perfect gift for teenagers and I loved it too!
