In this hour-long workshop, award-winning local author, Kim Kelly, will take you through a series of exercises that can help you re-energise your imagination and find your way back into your writing dreams by getting words down on the page.

Whether you’re well advanced with your writing project or at the beginning, this workshop will be fun and inspiring, and will give you a handy set of writing tools to take away, to use whenever you need a kickstart again.
