Join us at Brighton Book Festival (@brightbookfest ) for a lively, welcoming creative writing workshop where you can stretch your storytelling muscles, connect with fellow writers, and meet people from Creative Future, New Writing South (@newwritingsouth ), and Writing Our Legacy (@writingourlegacy ) - local organisations working to make publishing more inclusive, dynamic and representative.⁠ ⁠ Led by acclaimed poet Sea Sharp (@seathepoet ), this inspiring session will take place at Brighthelm Church and Community Centre on Thursday 18 June 2026, 3.30-5pm.⁠ ⁠ Expect an energising, life-affirming space to explore your voice and creativity.⁠ ⁠ This workshop is open to all levels.⁠ ⁠ If you are Black, a person of colour, queer, disabled, neurodivergent, working class, or have lived experience of mental health challenges, you may have noticed how rarely your stories are reflected on high street shelves. This workshop is about changing that—by writing the stories we want, need, and deserve to read.⁠ ⁠ Book now via the link in @brightbookfest 's bio 🔗
