Especially for Green Libraries Week, this creative writing session hosted by experienced facilitator Amanda Wright will be a friendly, supportive space to explore your writing voice and have some fun doing it. The session will be a mix of bite-sized writing exercises and discussion, plus a little bit of chat! Everyone will have the chance to share some of their writing if they wish and get some feedback on it. No previous experience is necessary. Just bring along a pen and some paper. You already have everything else you need, just waiting for you to find it.

Amanda Wright is a Subject Specialist Librarian with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Library Network.
