The biggest obstacle to any writer’s progress is finding time and space to write. As every writer knows, it’s much easier to procrastinate than prioritise their writing when they lead full-time, full-on lives.
Gift vouchers to the Write Place studios at Black Swan Arts in Frome start at £5 for half-a-day of distraction-free writing and make the perfect stocking-filler for the writer in your life. The vouchers will also help to raise funds to keep this not-for-profit writer’s refuge affordable for all writers.
Kate McEwan who facilitates this creative space says, “Our members write in every genre – stories, novels, screenplays, poetry, as well as essays and dissertations. But new members and visitors are always welcome. Everyone agrees that writing together in this peaceful space is much more productive than working alone at home.”
Open 9-5, six days a week, the Write Place also offers an intensive, all-day writing retreat on the second Sunday of every month. A £15 voucher gives a full day of writing and includes lunch.
So, give a writer something they really need to start the new year the write way. Collect your vouchers from the Write Place on the top floor of Black Swan Arts, or order online at www.writeplace.org.uk.
