Derbyshire Writing School is one-year-old!

Our aim has always been to create courses, workshops and resources that balanced the creative and the practical. 

Derbyshire Writing School — Creative writing taught the way it should be:

It’s been a rollercoaster of a year.

But most importantly, people from around the globe have joined us!  

So, What’s next for Derbyshire Writing School? 

• Our 1:1 coaching will launch. Our writing coaching will push you to answer the tough questions and challenge the blocks that are stopping you from creating your best work.
• Our 3% Club will launch. The 3% Club brings the practical elements to writing a book together with the creative. We believe you can’t have one without the other.
• Our Prompt Boxes will change from a subscription to one-off packages. This means you can buy them as gifts or as a treat for yourself, as and when you need some inspiration.
• Our workbooks will be ready for you to purchase, starting with our writing mindset workbook.
• Our Poetry courses start with our guest facilitator, Charlotte Lunn.
• And hopefully we will invite you to our very in person writing retreat!
• Our monthly newsletter will continue – Each month we share useful articles, free writing resources and tips to help you develop as a writer. You can sign up here and you’ll get 101 writing prompts to get you started.
• Our podcast will continue – Every Friday (from the 3rd of September) we’ll release a new episode of ‘Begin’, the podcast from Derbyshire Writing School. Each week, we answer your questions and share how you can get your book finished.
• Our weekly blog posts will continue – Each Tuesday we share detailed blog posts, bursting with ideas and tips. You’ll find a vast archive of advice on our website.
• Our alumni Facebook group will continue – we’ve created an exclusive Facebook group for everyone who attends one of our courses. It’s a great place to network and talk to fellow writers and it’s only available to those who have completed a course with us. 
• Our popular Memories to Memoir course will be running. Starting Tuesday 5th October, this will be the last time we run this course in 2021, so if you’ve been thinking of signing up, it’s time!
