A Zoom Masterclass

Monday 13 January 2025, 7pm – 8.30pm, London time

Beginner’s mind – getting started

Fresh starts for new ideas, rebooting old projects, setting out in writing, trying a different form: we begin with beginnings and the beginner’s mind. We’ll consider strong openings, and discuss notebooks and reading, and identify tools and tips for the longer journey of drafting (and redrafting) until a project is complete: knowledge, intention, ritual, practice.

* Each masterclass will run on Zoom, with discussion on this month’s topics, plus a writing exercise and Q&A. 

* A week before the class, you’ll be emailed optional homework: brief preparatory readings as well as writing exercises.

* After each class, you’ll also be emailed a unit workbook with notes on craft as well as writing experiments, reading recommendations and further resources.

* Classes will be live. Recordings will not be available.
