TALKS & WORKSHOPS

 BOLDtext don’t simply write for ourselves, but help other writers too. Whether you’re a school, college, or university, a festival, an arts organisation, or a group interested in our approach and the topics we cover, we can provide a talk or workshop designed for you. Just drop us a line at boldtextcollective@gmail.com

In addition, many of us provide our own specialised training. Take a look at what we each cover below.

“Friendly open atmosphere with prompting exercises that get your mind flowing.”

“All elements were perfectly timed, full of tips and ideas.”

“I loved the relaxed feel of it, and the wealth of knowledge from the workshop leaders.”
