Moving your story forward

This week, online and in-person, at the Writers’ Gym

Enormous thanks to everyone who wrote or sponsored the writers this weekend: Green Ink Sponsored Write 2024 smashed our target for Macmillan Cancer Support. With fifteen years of events for Macmillan in Green Ink Sponsored Write and Writers’ Gym history, it’s such a pleasure to be working with a growing community of loyal writers, editors and readers. Thank you all SO much. If you sponsored us through the page and haven’t received your digital anthology, check your spam folder! If still no joy, get in touch at thewritersgym@rachelknightley.com.

Our next in-person and online writing session is at Olympic Studios this coming Saturday, 26 October. Celebrate Twisted Branches’ first birthday by creating your own Short Story Cycle – scroll down, or click here.
