Creative
writing at Shepherds Bush Library
Shepherds Bush Junction Writing
Group
Writers’ block, finding the mood to write, building creative stamina,
and staying disciplined are just some of the problems most writers face. In
these sessions led by Anjan Saha and Dzifa Benson, you will work within a
supportive environment to strengthen your writing muscle and explore all forms
of writing from poetry to script writing.
Work from this collective featured in the Westwords Festival
at the Bush Theatre and Lyric Theatre in Spring 2006. Following on from this,
Anjan Saha created the London Literature
Lounge, where members from this group read at London's famous Poetry Cafe
(along with writers from Harrow and Uxbridge).
About the tutors:
