'UNLEASH YOUR WRITING POWER' 3 - 10 MAY 2010

“No matter how good a writer you think you are, you will discover things about yourself you never knew. To do this anywhere would be wonderful. To do it on Paxos is idyllic.” – T R, Manchester

 “This course is life-changing. It’s inspired my writing and has given me the confidence to consider writing for a living.” - S W, Manchester

"I arrived stressed with the modern world and left filled with peace and purpose. The week was a haven of learning and enjoyment in a perfect setting.” - P B, Kent

Have you noticed how sometimes when you are writing, the more you struggle, the more difficult it is to find the right words? Yet on other occasions words appear like magic, almost without having to think about them; a special energy takes over and your writing becomes powerful and inspiring?  

Paradoxically, some of the best pieces are those that come with almost no effort and this inspirational and innovative workshop, led by journalist Judi Goodwin will unblock the barriers to your creativity and provide an opportunity to build confidence, power and fluency. You will learn the secret of really connecting with your readers at a powerful level by first connecting with yourself.  

Whether you want to write fiction, family history, articles or best sellers, marketing or business communications, or a personal journal, this workshop will help you explore skills you never realised you had and inject energy, power and magic into everything you write. It is equally suitable for those with some previous experience and for complete beginners; what is important is a desire to write.

The workshop will be based around group tuition sessions on five mornings a week and there will also be some one-to-one sessions, when you will have the opportunity to talk over individual difficulties, projects, ambitions or concerns.

During the week you will learn how to 

•   make writing an enjoyable, fun experience

·         write with increased fluency and ease

·         gain confidence and avoid writer’s block

·         write as naturally as you speak

·         structure your writing effectively

·         write powerfully and persuasively

·         improve pace, readability and style

·         communicate from the heart and the head

·         inspire and motivate your readers

Afternoons will be free, leaving plenty of time either to explore Paxos or simply relax.

Course Cost: The course costs £645 per person, which includes tuition, accommodation in a shared villa with private pool near Loggos, return transfers between Corfu and Paxos, and a breakfast hamper. It is, however, possible for anyone who has their own accommodation or who wishes to be more independent just to join the group tuition sessions. A programme of optional activities including Greek cookery, Greek dancing and walks will be available at additional cost.
