“Writing is something you do alone in a room. The only thing you really need is the talent of the room. Unless you have that, your other talents are worthless.”
Michael Ventura
My name is Jo Backhouse and I'm a writer, creative practitioner and qualified teacher with an MA in Creative Writing, and have run workshops in schools and theatres in the south west.
Now based in Bristol, I set up room to write as a space for writers to come together for day-long retreats, taught courses and workshops. The Covid19 pandemic meant these couldn't go ahead as planned in spring 2020. I hope they can start up in the Autumn. Please register your interest in future courses and events on the contact page. |
