Writing Workshop - Tuesday 17th January
2023, 18:30 – 20:30
Facilitated by Marianne L. Berghuis
58 Bonnygate Coworking & Community Hub
58 Bonnygate
Cupar, Fife KY15 4LD
Parking available at Bonnygate Carpark, 2 minute walk to venue
Did you know that writing can reduce stress, anxiety and help improve
sleep and performance? The power of words really can create personal
insights, growth and healing.
With a focus on ‘writing for wellbeing’ you are invited to come along
and explore ways to be creative and get your ideas on the page. We’ll
be using techniques and writing prompts to let go and get our pens
flowing with words across the paper. Who knows what amazing ideas might
materialise, you’ll just have to come along to find out.
We may share work in the group if it feels right on the evening but
there will be absolutely no obligation to share or read your own work
aloud.
All you need is yourself, a pen and a notepad. It’s recommended you
don’t use a laptop etc for this workshop. Writing can be as scribbly as
you like, doodles acceptable too.
Tea and Coffee provided.

Marianne is an ex-nurse and recent graduate from
Stirling University’s MLitt Creative Writing course. Always found
with a notebook and pen she likes to dabble in all things writing.
Her dissertation for University focused on the memoir genre but she
also enjoys writing poetry and short stories. She was chosen as an
‘Emerging Programmer’ this year by the Scottish Book Trust and ran a
well-received workshop alongside author James Oswald. She was also
invited to read at the Edinburgh International Book Festival as part
of the 2022 Scotland’s Stories project. Marianne’s 25+ years’
experience as a nurse made her realise the positive impact writing
can have on mental health and this became a focus for her during her
study at Stirling. A member of Fife Writes and performer at our Open
Mic events, she has been part of many writing projects and continues
to scribble away and truly believes writers ‘rejection’ only makes
you stronger and is dedicated to never giving up.
