Creative Writes 2024

Creative Writes was founded in 2009 out of a desire to create a supportive writing community in London (we are based in Muswell Hill, North London, N10), where the focus was more on the process and enjoyment of writing, rather than the end product. This means that in group settings, we do not offer critique on the writing. There is no pressure to share your work but if you do, you can read with the confidence that you will be listened to respectfully. You can write and share without fear of judgement. As a listener, you will also find that there is a deeper listening when you are not expected to offer criticism to your fellow writers.

We are proud of our community – working with some of the same writers today as from our very first workshops. We also welcome newcomers and love to see the trust & friendships that have grown and continue to grow. We work with writers at all levels. You don’t need to prepare anything, all you need re notebooks & pens. Nichola will guide you through a series of timed free flow writing exercises

If you’ve visited us today because you have a story to write, or feel the call to be creative, explore our pages and feel free to mail us at info@creativewrites.co.uk to ask about our courses.

Writing is all about telling a story in some way, isn’t it?
At Creative Writes, all of our workshops provide:

  • Space to write
  • An opportunity to write your legacy
  • A chance to tell a story any way you wish – through prose, poetry, life writing or fiction
  • A toolbox of ideas with which to continue your writing
  • Motivation
  • Support
  • Fun
  • Teaching the process of free flow writing

Refunds & Cancellations Policy:

Creative Writes does not give refunds for booked course places.

Space to Write Mondays on Zoom

Space to Write Mondays on Zoom provide a weekly motivational one hour workshop with no feedback. Fun, eclectic, group writing activities with a different theme each week.

Words & Wine

Words & Wine evenings are one of our most popular workshops. With a relaxed vibe, some wine and some cheese, Words & Wine evenings originated a few years ago in Muswell Hill. We moved over to Zoom in the first lockdown of Spring 2020 and have continued to have lots of fun with our themed monthly evenings.
We are delighted about the return of our in person Words & Wine workshops, which will run in addition to the online sessions from our new venues.
Please see our list of dates for all Words & Wine workshops and book your place.

Places are limited, fun is had, words are written…
