Autumn 2025

One day workshop on Saturday 22 November, 10.00 am to 4.00 pm

The concept of “writer's block" can sometimes encourage us to accept our inability to write rather than develop strategies which support us to write when we need to. In this course we look at some of the most innovative and sometimes bizarre strategies that writers have employed to avoid staring at the blank page. We assess their value to you with research from neuroscience, psychology, personal development and author experience. You will be inspired to take a fresh look at how you write, boost your creativity and curiosity and cultivate a more pro-active approach to your writing projects.

This class will take place on QUB campus
