I run writing workshops in my farmhouse in the Aveyron in South West France.
They are suitable for writers at any level. Beginners end the week with
motivation, enthusiasm and a direction for their writing. Writers with more
experience take home a renewed sense of excitement about their work and some new
ideas on triggering memory and how to give a fresh boost to their writing.

Martrin, my village, is ideal for writers’workshops situated, as it is, in
calm, unspoiled countryside. This is real old rural France, essentially
unchanged since the beginning of the last century. I have a charming,
traditional French farmhouse, modernised to include even bathrooms – completely
lacking when I bought it four years ago. The peace of the surroundings gets the
creative and digestive juices flowing.

Please be so kind as to pass on details of my website to your members and to
anyone else whom you think would benefit from this five day writers’ workshop in
France. Perhaps you might consider bringing a group yourself. I offer a special
group leader’s discount.

The website is www.writing-courses-france.com The physical address is Write here in France! La Bourdique, Martrin,
12550, France. Telephone +33 5 65 99 7645

I look forward to welcoming you and your members here.

Regards

Sharon
