Write a Short Story
Sat 5 Apr 2025, 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
Whether you’re already a writer of short stories, or would like to have a go at writing one, this is the workshop for you. With ideas and guidance from the tutor and feedback from the group, you will work on a story of your own.
Why not make it a weekend and enrol on Paul Walker’s workshop the following day, Sunday 6th April? There you will receive valuable editing tips and feedback to refine your story and make it even better.
All stories created during these weekend workshops can be submitted for the next Settlement Anthology, which will be published on Amazon towards the end of this year.

Bio: Elizabeth trained as a primary school teacher in the 1970s. After a long gap doing voluntary work, she returned to teaching as a supply teacher. She has always loved writing and has found going on writing courses a valuable way of learning about the craft. After some success writing stories for a comic, she moved on to writing fiction and non-fiction for county and national magazines. Since 2006 she has run ’Get Writing!’ at Letchworth Settlement. Elizabeth holds the Undergraduate Certificate in Creative Writing Part I (Fiction) and Part II (Non fiction) awarded by Cambridge Institute for Continuing Education. She is delighted that her latest book, ‘Stone Arrows’, has been shortlisted for the Historical Association’s Young Quills, 2024.
