Welcome One and All! This site is the temporary online home for WRITELondon. A website is in construction, but for now, settle in here, and link us up with anyone you know who might be interested in the joys of WRITELondon.

So what IS WRITELondon?

WRITELondon is a range of site- specific creative writing workshops for writers across genres. A group of writers are escorted around London locations over day or evening workshops and provided with creative writing tasks that use aspects of the space to fuel new material. You don’t have to proclaim yourself a Writer, WRITELondon is open to anyone who wants to re-engage with surroundings, flex new creative muscles, and go on an adventure. We’re about generating ideas and being inspired by the everyday.

The workshops are structured as a walking tour with public transport if necessary. the group will work individually and sometimes collaboratively to generate new writing material from the tasks set specific to space. The workshop also includes sharing of work and ideas. WRITELondon is also frequently an impromptu forum for networking and connecting with likeminded people.

Who’s behind it?

WRITELondon is designed and run by poet, educator and Londoner Jasmine Ann Cooray. Just for you, she combines her site-specific drama experience with enthusiasm for rolling about town, all stirred up with a love of words. Jasmine has been performing her poetry in London and Brighton for three years and writing since she could stick her fingers in ink. She is pleased to meet you.

On the WRITELondon Blog, I’ll be posting new listings for upcoming workshops, feedback, blogging the workshops as they go, and posting pictures and work. I look forward to seeing you on a WRITELondon soon!
