Venue: The Writing Place

No - I'm not talking about a hair salon but rather (as defined by Merriam-Webster)  'A fashionable assemblage of notables (such as literary figures, artists, or statesmen) held by custom at the home of a prominent person.'

I may not be a 'prominent person' but this salon will most certainly be a fabulous 'assemblage of notables' -  you!

Join me and a small group of writers for a day of writing at The Writing Place. We'll begin with coffee/tea and some warm-up exercises and discussion, then retire to our own desks to create, write and flex our imagination.

We'll meet up again for a leisurely lunch (please bring your lunch - tea and coffee provided) and then get back into our writing with an end-of-day time for readings and sharing our work (however there is never any pressure to read to the group unless you'd like to).​

Some feedback from writer Dara McNaught..

"I had already benefited from (Jane's) skilled, sensitive tuition at a Life Writing and Journaling workshop and looked forward to a lively session with lots of laughter. So true. I left feeling not only encouraged about my project, but surprised and delighted at some ideas that were shaken loose.  And I do love the Writing Place - a dedicated base for writers in a quirky, light-filled house overlooking the ocean, with a graceful living/tutoring room and small spaces and nooks available for individual work. ​There’s a bit of magic here, I reckon. I can’t wait to go back for more. "
