Write On! with Diana Hamilton
2025-05-01 18:00 - 20:00 | Creative Stranraer Hub, 23 King Street, Stranraer, Dumfries & Galloway, DG9 7JU, United Kingdom
Write On! is a creative writing workshop, hosted by Diana Hamilton.

Creative writing can be a fantastic outlet for your thoughts, feelings and own stories you wish to record or share. Writing creatively can unlock memories, help you capture moments and generally give you a chance to have some fun with words. No experience is necessary and the classes will explore different types of writing, giving you the skills to take away with you and use how you wish. From poetry to prose (stories) the classes will help you find your feet, grow your confidence and encourage you to find your own personal style of writing.

It is hoped that the classes will give you the tools to write a few things you are proud of and would like to share in the form of a book where the group’s work can be published and celebrated.
