Talk Details
A session on creative writing. I will lead attendees through easy, manageable, five minute exercises, and an opportunity to lighten the mood and reinvigorate the joy of writing.
No writing experience necessary. I will guide you every step of the way. A chance to steer clear of the bland data, facts and figures and just focus on the flow and magic of the mind.
Have a blank piece of paper and your favourite writing tool (pen or pencil) handy.
Key learnings from this session:
- Develop confidence in creative writing regardless of experience level
- Discover how to tap into imagination
- Experience how free writing can generate fresh fundraising ideas and approaches
- Develop a personal writing style that can make your proposals stand out
- Take away practical exercises that can be used for team building and idea generation.
