Ty Newydd: How To Teach Creative Writing: Inspire, engage, empower with Cecilia Knapp
Fri 9 May 2025 to Sun 11 May 2025
How do you inspire a love of words in others? How do you use your own creativity to help others engage with literature? How can teaching creative writing make you reflect on your own creative practice? 20% NAWE Member Discount available.

This special weekend residential course aims to enable you to enhance your skillset as a teacher of creative writing and equip yourself with techniques and approaches to engage a variety of audiences. The course will also be an opportunity for you to understand how to mine your own practice as you consider the practicalities of tutoring and inspiring a group in a safe, nurturing and creative environment.

Join highly respected poet and experienced creative writing facilitator, Cecilia Knapp as she unpicks the writing and teaching process from start to finish and shares methods you can apply to your own workshops and practice.

You’ll also be joined by former teacher and current university lecturer Ashley Hickson-Lovence for a lively online guest reading which is sure to inspire and educate.

Through group sessions and discussions, and a series of creative writing prompts, you will gain the confidence and skills required to help design and deliver creative writing workshops with an impact.
