Hello from Cardiff Writers’ Studio! We are the home of the most positive and friendly creative writing classes in the world. All delivered from Cardiff, in South Wales!

Cardiff Writers’ Studio is a dedicated space for writers to explore their voice, their craft, and their writing aspirations, in a safe and supportive environment. Writing can be a solitary business but at Cardiff Writers’ Studio we’re here to listen to your ideas, respond to your words, and ultimately cheer you on!

Whether you write in your head, but not yet on the page; have scribbled in private, but wondered about going public; used to write, but have lost your way; are recently published, but want to keep experimenting; have an ongoing project that is ready for workshopping; love to write but can’t find time and space to get pen to paper; you will find the warmest of welcomes and inspiration aplenty at Cardiff Writers’ Studio.

With regular in-person workshops taking place at Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff; online sessions taking place on Zoom, and writers’ retreats in lovely South Wales locations, Cardiff Writers’ Studio aims to provide accessible, fun, and affirming creative writing experiences for all.

Since 2012, hundreds of writers have passed through our doors, including individuals who went on to study Masters degrees and PhDs in Creative Writing; became finalists for Wales Book of the Year; won The Bridport Prize for fiction; and been offered deals with both local and major publishers, including Penguin. But most importantly, our writers have kindled their passion, widened their horizons, and developed lifelong friendships along the way.
