Creative writing workshop

You’re never alone with a pen. 

In this session we will explore the power of our own strength when writing about personal issues. We will discover things about ourselves we may have forgotten or never really thought about.

Do come and see how writing can be enlightening.

The novelist EM Forster said, ‘How do I know what I feel until I see it written down’.

This session will be led by Wendy French, who works as a writer in healthcare settings. She has worked with UCH Macmillan Cancer Centre for many years, leading writing groups for patients and carers.  She also works with a visual artist and poet at Maggie’s Centre, part of the Royal Marsden Hospital in Surrey.
