News – April 2026

Lovely feedback from Michelle M on my March Zoom writing workshop: “Phenomenal, Tania. The time flew by, and none of it felt like work. I have a few promising ideas.” That’s exactly what I’m hoping for! If this sounds like something you fancy trying, my next Zoom workshop is on Sun Apr 12th 7-8pm UK: Unbox Your Words: 1-hour Writing Muscle Workout – three writing exercises in a fun and fast 60 minutes to get that writing muscle well and truly warmed up, no matter what shapes you write in! Concession, free and pay-what-you-can places availble. Details and booking here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/taniahershman/2123090

And just opened for booking: Tues July 7th, 7-9pm UK ZOOM: Arvon Masterclass “From Academic to General Readership”

Academics encounter fascinating stories in their research and archival work, but don’t often have the storytelling and writing tools to share these stories in creative and playful ways. Whether you’re an academic making the leap to writing for a general audience, or you’re simply looking to use the tools of creative writing to bring life to your research, come along to this interactive online writing Masterclass with genre-bending writer and hugely experienced writing tutor Tania Hershman. You’ll find tips, techniques, as well as permission and inspiration to experiment and create new work in fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction and hybrid writing.
