Fettling sessions are friendly, small group (no more than ten) zoom feedback sessions for poets, aimed at ‘fettling’ your poems. They begin in September 2024. The Fettling sessions take place on Sundays 2-4pm UK time.

Each session begins with a short writing prompt, a general poetry chat to exchange ideas, events, magazine call outs etc, and then we exchange feedback on poems.

Fettling sessions occur every two months (dates below) and are bookable either individually or in blocks of three or six.

Please note bookings for sessions must be made at least two weeks before the session.

I cannot give refunds on bookings but may be able to exchange dates within reason.

Places are limited to ten, first come, first served.

Testimonials

“I found your prompts and the accompanying information extremely helpful and stimulating. For me your emphasis on 'no pressure' has felt very freeing and combined with your introductions, your course helped me to begin writing again. In short, your course was excellent - I learnt a lot and felt able to do what I could, given various other constraints in my non-writing life. Thank you so much!” HBN

“Wendy's online writing courses are stimulating and challenging. The introductions to the weekly topics include links to videos, articles and lectures, plus a variety of exemplar poems, all of which add to the broader context of each course. Although there is no pressure to keep up with the daily prompts, they are thoughtful and thought-provoking, which makes writers want to return to those they missed. The closed facebook group enables participants to share work in a safe and supportive environment. The fact that so many participants return to subsequent courses is an indication of how much they are valued.” AH

“I have thoroughly enjoy the time spent here. First time on such a course. I really thought I’d be doing more reading than writing. I have often encouraged my primary school pupils to write but never thought to indulge myself until now. Actually I’ve become addicted. I went on holiday in the middle and have returned with half the prompts still to do. The course has finished but I mean to continue and indeed to book another one when one is advertised. The prompts are varied and inspiring. They allow for so many interpretations. There’s no feelings that you are doing it wrong. No pressure. The group has been very friendly and so encouraging to be able to read the responses of others. Just very enjoyable. Thank you Wendy.” EL
