Hello!

We have a Writing workshop booked at the amazing John Rylands library in Deansgate.

It will take place on Wednesday 16th December, from 1:30pm to 4:30pm.

This will be a fantastic opportunity to see a sample of the original manuscripts the library is home to, with a hands on experience. After we have perused some genius work we will write our own. Anything you write that is inspired by the library will be published on the library's blog, (great exposure for your writer's profiles).

If you are interested in this brilliant writing opportunity at the John Rylands, email us at:

[email protected] or reply to this email. (Please let us know before Sunday 13th Dec).

This event is free and there will be snacks.
We will go for Christmas drinks afterwards, (mulled wine, cocktails or hot chocolate- whatever tickles your Christmas fancy).
