The Zoom creative writing sessions have been great for me in lockdown, especially as I am shielding. Oriana sends us very comprehensive and interesting worksheets so we can prepare beforehand and then read out to each other during the session. It’s so good to connect in this way with fellow writers and get the amazing encouragement from Oriana and members of the group. It has been so good to be challenged creatively during this very difficult time and then share our work with familiar faces. Thank you so much Oriana for being so inspirational and considerate.
