DESCRIPTION:Creative writing workshop for the Festival of Libraries 2026\
 n\nExpressing yourself and crafting an object have long been studied and
  considered a way to relieve stress and emotional turbulence. We are tol
 d that “talking helps” and that making “something out of nothing” can ma
 ke us feel better. Writing is a form of speech. And so\, as part of the 
 Festival of Libraries\, we would like to invite you to take part in a Wr
 iting for Wellbeing Workshop\, which will be facilitated by professional
  writers from the Centre for New Writing at The University of Manchester
 .\n\nThe Centre for New Writing has been involved with projects working 
 with readers and writers from all walks of life and backgrounds\, and ha
 ve included poetry competition for Schools\, micropoetry built for Twitt
 er\, book clubs discussing classic and new poems\, moonbounce sessions a
 t Jodrell Bank which saw new poems written and sent to the moon (and bac
 k)\, and wellbeing sessions at the city’s libraries\, museums and galler
 ies. We know first-hand the effects that creative writing can have\, and
  we are delighted to offer these sessions for interested readers and wri
 ters\, and those who are curious about creative writing as part of their
  own personal wellbeing.\n\nPresented in partnership with Creative Manch
 ester as part of the Manchester City of Literature Festival of Libraries
  2026.\n\nPlaces are very limited and booking is required.\n\n
