Weekly Creative Writing Classes
​What I've noticed since my face to face classes resumed, is a distinct drop in standard compared to pre Covid times. It must be very distressing for you parents, especially after basically two years of home schooling and trying your utmost to keep your children on task. And stay sane.

I can't promise to bring your child up to a higher standard immediately, but parents tell me teachers see an improvement in children who attend my classes.
 That's very rewarding.
However, I don't run the classes to drill them with more work. I encourage them to explore their imaginations. To write the best story they can. To take risks by creating something unusual. To discover new words.
I run the classes to make writing fun.
The results are a by-product of enjoying the process of writing.

With an increased emphasis on well-being, the advantages of handwritten creative writing can’t be overlooked.
 
  • Encourages concentration and attention.
  • Strengthens the imagination.
  • Is a stress release.
  • Improves the memory.
  • Increases neural activity in certain sections of the brain, similar to meditation.
  • Sharpens the brain and helps us learn. 
  • Forces us to slow down.
 
I write because I LOVE IT; and I share this passion with FUN classes in a very supportive environment.

Brighton Grammar visit:
"Leeanne ran a very focused and customised workshop for our classes of Year 9 boys. She covered character and setting in ways that were very accessible and the boys produced some excellent work. I really liked the way she included all the students and didn’t let anyone hide in the corners."

​I wrote my first play in Grade 5, which was performed in front of the entire school. I started writing my first novel in Year 8. Getting published was my dream. Now my name is on the front cover of seven different books. 

Do you want to write?
​Don't put it off any longer. 
Do something about it now. 
You'll be so glad you did!
