At NWS, we pride ourselves on being an inclusive creative community of all ages, abilities, and skill sets. We are passionate about supporting all kinds of writers: whether your heart lies with fiction, poetry, memoir, theatre or TV scripts, screenplays, blogging, journalism, copy, or any other type of writing you can imagine – we’re here for you!
Writing can be a lonely business, so we provide our members with opportunities to network – both in person and remotely. Whether you’re seeking a regular critique group to help develop as a writer or just a literary-minded pal to have a cuppa with – NWS can help.
Our workshops delve into a diverse array of subjects for all levels, from beginner to advanced. We create our programme by listening to what our members would like to participate in and feel they would benefit from most, and NWS members benefit from exclusive member discounts to all our workshops and masterclasses, as well as on studio hire.
Or maybe you just need a home away from home, a quiet and friendly spot to settle into and get work done? NWS Members benefit from exclusive access to our lovely, bright studio space in 25 Hockley between Friday and Sunday – complete with free wifi and tea and coffee making facilities.
Whatever you need just let us know at admin@nottinghamwritersstudio.co.uk and we will do all that we can to support you on your writing journey!
