Back of a Beer Mat – Writing Workshop

A Beermat Sized Story Writing Session

Some of the best stories are told at the bar or by the fireside of a good pub.

The mix of good ale and good cheer illuminates the memories, as the histories and mysteries of past, present and future are shared. As many people are currently missing the opportunity to hear or tell such tales in a pub, we invite you to join us for a Back of a Beermat story writing session by the flickering light of your computer screen.

Hosts Katie Etheridge & Simon Persighetti will guide you through some fun and creative exercises towards the telling and writing of Beermat size stories.

Who is it for?

You may be interested in writing but not sure where to start. Or perhaps you used to enjoy writing but haven’t picked up a pen for years?
This workshop is for residents of Cornwall aged 18+ with no previous experience required.
