Weekend writing workshop – taking inspiration from your surroundings

[John Dean]

Seeking inspiration for your writing? Fancy writing in a 160-year-old house on a hill? Looking to learn more about how writers draw inspiration from their surroundings? Like to find a peaceful corner of a garden to write (weather permitting!)? And all with delicious home-cooked meals?

Then a weekend course at Kettle Knowe near Castle Douglas is for you. Best-selling crime novelist and creative writing tutor John Dean is to run a creative writing workshop at the 19^th Century house on the weekend of September 15-16, 2018.

John, author of 16 novels, currently published by London-based The Book Folks, and the creator of DCI John Blizzard and DCI Jack Harris, will run a course based around sense of place.

The cost is £95, including catering, and you can find out more by emailing [e-mail] or ringing 07889 554931. The course is non-residential but advice can be offered on local B and Bs if required.
