Becky's Writing Hour

Fill your notebook with fresh ideas at this twice-monthly online writing class.



1 hour

Class size 1 to 50 (public dates), 1 to 10

  £6 - £10 (£6 for Concession; £10 for General Admission)

Join Becky's online writing hours and carve out some dedicated time for your writing, wherever you happen to be curled up – at your desk, on the sofa or tucked up in bed.
Held twice a month, on the second Tuesday and last Sunday, these sessions keep things simple: you'll be guided through a warm-up exercise followed by a series of poems and prompts, leaving as much of the hour as possible free for you to write. It's a low-pressure, generative space where the focus is on getting words down rather than getting them right.
By the end of each session, you'll come away with a notebook full of fresh ideas and seeds to take with you and grow in your own time. Come as often or as little as you like – there's no pressure to commit to every session.
So that price isn't a barrier, general admission and concessions (for over 60s, students and those on benefits) are both available.

female Women-owned

I am a Manchester-based poet and graduate of the Manchester Writing School.
I work as a Poet Mentor for the Comino Project in partnership with Manchester Poetry Library, supporting Poets in Residence to deliver workshops. I also facilitate workshops in poetry and fiction in community settings, both in person and online.
I am a strong advocate for holding community in writing and am often found at spoken word events, including the one I co-host – Verbose, Manchester’s longest-running spoken word event. I was chosen as one of six New Northern Poets for 2026 and was also an Emerging Poet in Residence with the Charles Causley Trust.
I have had work published in PN Review, Propel, 14 Magazine, and Ink, Sweat & Tears, amongst others. You can find more of my publications on my website.
I'd love for you to join me for my online generative writing hours, where I'll bring a series of warm-up prompts and poems so that you can dedicate as much of the hour to writing as possible.
You'll leave with a notebook full of seeds to water and grow. The sessions are warm, supportive, and inspiring. Come and join me!
