Derby Poetry Festival and Laurie Bolger’s The Creative Writing Breakfast Club team up for a Sunday Morning Digital Workshop that's sure to get the creative juices flowing. The Creative Writing Breakfast Club, as featured in Time Out, is a Free Flow Creative Writing hour with writer Laurie Bolger. This session is about letting your creativity lead the way, and generating new and exciting writing in your own unique style.
