Creative Writing Workshop

with Jo Browning Wroe

April 2nd 7-9pm

Ibis Hotel, Cambridge station

£25 / £15*

This two hour workshop is for anyone interested in creative writing as a means to explore and express grief and loss.

Irrespective of the written results, the process itself can be very healing, bringing clarity and unexpected shifts in perspective. As an experienced leader of writing workshops, Jo will work hard to provide a supportive, safe environment, in which to honour and articulate your inner world, through a series of carefully designed exercises. No experience is necessary in creative writing, either privately or in a workshop context. 

Jo Browning Wroe

Jo Browning Wroe has an MA in Creative Writing from UEA, was Creative Writing Supervisor at Lucy Cavendish College and has taught on the Institute of Continuing Education’s certificate in teaching creative writing. Her novel, A Terrible Kindness, was a Sunday Times bestseller, translated into several languages, shortlisted for the RSL Christopher Bland Prize and longlisted for the Prix du Roman Fnac.
