Fire up your ideas factory and improve your creative process - a dynamic half-day workshop for people who work with words!

How come some writers and creatives seem to have an endless flow of new ideas and can effortlessly solve story problems?

They don't have a special creativity gene - it's just that they know how to tap into their creativity rather than waiting for inspiration to strike.

Want to improve your writing craft?

Wish you could generate great ideas all the time?

Want to find creative solutions for your story problems more easily?

Our fun Ignite Your Creativity workshop teaches you practical techniques that will turbo boost your creative process and improve your work.

Learning how to get better at idea generation and problem-solving is an INVALUABLE skill to your writing toolkit.

Too often people assume creative inspiration is random but we're all equipped with a perfectly good ideas factory - and can learn how to make it work harder and better.

Who is this workshop for?

Writers of every type!

I have worked with screenwriters, novelists, romance writers, short story fiends, memoir peeps, journalists, playwrights, bloggers, comedians, copywriters and non-fiction writers. (Other creatives will also find this workshop useful.)

It doesn't matter if you write fiction or non-fiction, whether you're brand new or a pro.
