Write & Shine (Online)

Start your day with a burst of creativity!

Join Write & Shine live from The London Library for a 90-minute virtual writing workshop called ‘A Sense of Place’. This session takes the work and ideas of author George Eliot as inspiration.

This is part of a year-long series of workshops celebrating the women of The London Library, especially those who wrote evocatively of travel and place.

Mary Anne Evans, writing under the pen name George Eliot, began using the Library in 1859. Within four years she had produced three novels - The Mill on the FlossSilas Marner and Romolo - that sealed her reputation as one of the country’s leading novelists. She was still using The London Library by the time she was researching her penultimate novel Middlemarch in 1871-2.

This writing workshop is led by author Gemma Seltzer. It takes place in the early morning light, as we believe the first part of the day is the best time to think, dream and imagine. In Write & Shine workshops, you won’t be expected to share your writing, which offers great freedom and encourages all kinds of unexpected ideas to emerge.

Login at 7.30am for 7.45am start. You will be sent a Zoom link a few days before the workshop (if you do not receive it, please check your junk file or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).
