Poetry Boom by Zoom, with Sharon Black
Dates: Sat 4 – Fri 10 September 2021
Cost: £125
Join Pindrop Press editor Sharon Black for a 5-day series of online workshops that will get you writing new poems using interesting and surprising prompts.
Saturday 4th will be a 1-hour drop-in social from 17-18h, an opportunity to say hi and have a chat. Bring a drink if you like, let's get to know each other.
Sunday 5th - Thursday 9th will involve 3 hours of daily workshop time:
9h -11h UK time will consist of writing prompts and shared writing time and end with an optional prompt to work on during the day. Afternoon sessions
17h - 18h UK time will be for feedback: depending on the number of participants, we will either focus on short pieces of work from everyone, or work on a rota basis.
Friday 10th 1-hour (a.m. OR p.m. TBC) will be for a farewell, with reading of 1 poem each from the week.
The maximum number of participants is 12.
Sharon will also be able to offer 1-1 mentoring to anyone who has work-in-progress they would like professional feedback on. These sessions cost £50 an hour.
