Writing

Whether you write for work or leisure, our writing courses will motivate you to fine-tune what you do! Published authors and writing coaches conduct workshops ranging from young adult fiction, fantasy fiction to creative non-fiction such as memoirs and feature articles. Learn what sets good writing apart from bad writing, discover your writing voice and how to organise and edit to bring everything together into a wholesome piece.

Reading

Pick up reading techniques and skills which have been tried and tested by the experts. Do you want to know how to change your pitch, tone and breath to use your voice to its fullest extent to read aloud to others? Or, do you want to learn to ask the right prompting questions when reading a book to your child or student and stir up a conversation? Attend one of our workshops and see how the world of reading changes for you!

Storytelling

Storytelling time is not just for students. It is for adults too, as many teachers, parents and adults of various professions have learnt through our workshops. In addition to learning how to tell stories, our workshop participants also learn how to conceptualise, visualise and narrate or write their very own story. Come and polish your skills today!
