And set a few achievable writing goals for the New Year. Mince pies and hot drinks included. And the opportunity to get away from the Christmas shopping crowds in central Bath for some quiet writing time. Maximum eight people. Beginners and experienced writers welcome.

Book soon for this special pop-up Winter Solstice session with Jude. Maximum eight people.  This one’s been and gone but Jude will be offering more short fiction events in the New Year
