Next date: Sunday, 15 November 2026 | 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM

Join author Kate Mildenhall for a practical and inspiring writing workshop exploring how to build rich, believable story worlds.

Through guided prompts, writing exercises and thought-provoking discussion, Kate will help participants explore the relationship between place, character and community.

Suitable for writers at any stage and across all genres, this workshop will leave writers with fresh ideas and a deeper understanding of the worlds they are creating, whether grounded in reality or entirely imagined.
