Event Management
The Great Write Inn is a new on-line school for writers.
We make it quick, fun and easy, to go from being an unpublished writer to a published author and get a lifelong goal ticked off the bucket list.
Mostly learned from home, we encourage writers to All events start by plungin the "Writer’s Matrix" to reinvigorate their creative thinking.
Writers spend time in a unique location where they explore and choose a room, create at least one character and plot to involve an object in a new short story.
The location of the first Writer’s Matrix is Olveston Historic Home, but you are welcome to go to other places of historical interest, such as a train, cathedral or village.
The first Great Write Inn event was 16-17 October 2021 with well known authors Catherine Chidgey, Diane Brown, Fiona Farrell and Emma Neale. The Masterclasses were filmed and now available on-line.
