On 4th July
I attended The Write Like
A Grrrl one day workshop in Liverpool Central Library ran by For Book’s Sake.
For Book’s Sake
are an organisation formed in 2010, who champion women writers of all
backgrounds and career levels. Their aim is to create a community that centres,
supports and champions’ women and girls, with focus on writing.

I’ve followed them on twitter for a while and when I saw they
had tweeted about a workshop they were running, I debated for a while as to whether
I should go or not. I had a whole list of reasons why I shouldn’t (What if I make
a show of myself? What if it’s full of people who are better writers/better
educated/better read then I am etc..). With a gentle nudge from my husband, I decided
to just go for it and booked my place.
The Write Like A Grrrl
course is dedicated to encouraging and teaching women who want to write (or are
already writing), and is open to self-identifying women of all ages. It runs as
a six week course, and also as one day intensive workshops.
