Wild writing at the 2014 NAWE conference

Posted on by

I’m off to the annual National Association of Writers in Education (NAWE) conference tomorrow. On Sunday, I’ll be co-running a workshop with Mac Dunlop.

For those who can’t make the session, or the conference, I thought I’d share the workbook I’ve created for it :
wild writes workshop handout (.pdf version).

Feel free to download and use/adapt the materials for your own creative writing or for running workshops! If you could acknowledge where you got it from that’d be appreciated.

If you want to know more about creative evaluation, or have any questions about session planning, please drop me an email – jennie[at]wildwrites.org.uk

Wild flower: bittersweet, woody nightshade. Rich purple and bright yellow, if this flower could speak what would it say?
