Welcome to Thrive
craft + confidence + community
20 Sept- 25 Oct
7-9pm Tuesdays online
Welcome to Thrive, our level-three creative writing course!
Thrive is a six-week intensive course combining in-depth critique workshops with brand new technique workshops so you can keep on developing your confidence and honing the skills you developed in our first two Write Like a Grrrl courses.
This course really focuses on self-compassion and developing your confidence as an artist. The course isn’t demanding and there will be no great pulls on your time but plenty of opportunities to analyse where you’re at in your creative practice and what’s holding you back.
You’ll experience the usual wonderful supportive Write Like a Grrrl magic as well as new topics to explore including: writing happy; the joy of sex; comedy; mood and tension; description; and much more. We’ll examine writers such as Claire Keegan, Ramona Ausubel, Dorothy Allison and many others and each session will feature topic-relevant writing exercises.
If you need cheering on, cheering up, want to get back into the writing habit or keep smashing out those words, then this is the course for you! We can’t wait to see you!
This course is online via zoom.

What Students Say…
“Kerry Ryan’s Write Like a Grrrl workshops were perfectly pitched, informative, inclusive, and empowering. Kerry creates a non-threatening space to explore our ideas and produce valuable work in class. Her teaching style is informal and supportive – exactly what we need.”
“I really enjoyed Kerry’s writing workshops. She created a conducive atmosphere for writing, making it friendly and collaborative. It was also a good mixture of practical exercises and useful advice. I would definitely attend a course run by Kerry again.”
“The course was fantastic. Without Kerry’s great lesson on ‘How to start writing and keep going’ I would not be writing at all, but I have now managed to do so regularly for the last year.”
