I Am A Writer Workshop: Kirkby-in-Ashfield Library

With the guidance of professional writer, Jack Burrows, you’ll have the chance to explore your creativity in a relaxed and welcoming environment. 

There’ll be space for you to share your thoughts and stories and to try different types of writing – from poetry and memoir to fiction and playwriting. 

No previous writing experience is necessary, and this is all about trying something new and having a go.  

Suitable for adults of all ages and young people aged 9 and over. 

Jack Burrows has been writing, acting and directing theatre for 20 years.  His first play Four Uncertain Kings (2004) launched his theatre company Behind Bars Theatre. Since then, he has gone on to write numerous plays for Mansfield Palace Theatre, and for the last 12 years he has written and directed the community pantomime for Sutton Centre Stage Group and Academy Transformation Trust. Jack was a 2022-23 associate artist with New Perspectives and is very passionate about delivering co-created work, giving others the opportunity to share their voice and tell their story to identify the heritage of local communities.
