The Alcove Presents-Books in the Nook Creative Writing

Join us to explore your creative side, as we settle into the quieter, cooler months of winter.

Have you been dreaming of writing a novel for years, but life's been holding you back? Do you keep meaning to write down your poems, and never find the time? Or do you have ideas for a poem, a play, a book, that you've already worked on, and want some honest feedback on? Have you ever thought about creative writing before?

Wherever you are in your writing journey, you will be in good company with The Alcove, in the warm and cosy snug of The Strathmore Bar in not-so-sunny-the-now Leith. Bring a project you'd like to crack into, or respond to writing prompts on the day, or both! It's completely up to you.

Hadley-James Hoyles, the founder of The Alcove, is a highly experienced creative writer and workshop facilitator, and he will be bringing a curated set of guides, prompts and creative exercises to get your creativity in flow, and allow you to commit that most precious of all things, time, to your writing practice.

If it goes well, you might even want to read your work at the next Alcove event!
