“Still, life had a way of adding day to day”–Mrs Dalloway

Led by writer Gemma Seltzer, Write & Shine morning writing workshops and online courses are open to everyone, whether you’re new to writing, have some experience or simply want more creativity into your working day.

Write & Shine workshops take place in the morning and last 90 minutes. Participants should arrive 15 minutes earlier than the workshop start time to relax and familiarise with Zoom. Gemma sets writing exercises, encouraging participants to create new poems, stories or autobiographical pieces.

The theme of this session will be ‘Everyday Pleasures’, reflecting on Clarissa Dalloway’s relative freedom to walk around Bloomsbury, which pre-COVID will have seemed limiting but now is aspirational.

You can read an original edition of Virginia Woolf's A Room Of One’s Own from 1929, and her notebook drafts Volume II and Volume III at the British Library online archive.

Limited free spaces available to RSL Members.
