Creative Writing Workshops

Introduce storytelling and creative writing in your life


My storytelling and creative writing workshops and courses aim to creatively empowering marginalized people through writing. 
I train charities, organisations and individuals to improve their communication and creativity skills to express themselves and their ideas effectively.

Without effective communication, how can people from marginalized backgrounds find the words to express themselves, tell stories or narrate their experiences? How can businesses improve their communication?

I help people to feel empowered to use communication to express themselves. I use inclusive, innovative, action-focused techniques to help people tap into their inner creativity and uniqueness to self realize.

Creativity is an essential skill and it taps into our vulnerability. My writing workshops lead to creating a creative culture. It gives people permission to be themselves, to fail and grow as a person and addressing fear of failure.
My storytelling and creative writing workshops and courses lead to wellbeing, recruit and retain people, improving communication skills and creative skills which leads to happier people more committed to their jobs. They reach their writing goals more easily.

What clients say About my Writing Workshops:

Sarah, participant at the Amnesty International East Anglia conference
“I was amazed at how quickly and effectively Aude got us writing fluently and effectively. I was initially sure I would have nothing to say but the thoughtful and supportive atmosphere she created inspired me to think, imagine and communicate. In just a short while I had thought out and expressed clearly ideas that had lain half-formed and buried. ”
Em, My Tutor UK
“Aude ran a fantastic session at our company day that was energising, unique and super creative. Everyone, both in-person and online wrote some great (and hilarious!) stories and Aude was lovely to work with in the lead up to the event - would definitely recommend and hope to work with her again soon!"
Vish, Cardiff
“Aude Konan facilitated a LGBT+ history month themed writing workshop for us. Aude is a brilliant facilitator. They listened to our groups needs and tailored a workshop about writing queer stories to engage our attendees. Our group thoroughly enjoyed thinking about character and story development. Many of our group attendees hadn’t done much creative writing, but Aude created a calm and non judgemental environment for us to express ourselves. Thank you Aude, and we hope you’ll facilitate something for us again very soon!  ”
Jai, Client Account Manager, Stonewall Uk
“Aude’s workshop was a great opportunity for us to dedicate some time to writing and considering stories. Some interesting discussions came out about how each of us defined ‘queer stories’, and it was great to use those discussions and Aude’s guidance to influence our writing decisions.."
