Creative writing can be something very private. From jotting down your thoughts in a diary to composing a love letter or writing something for the world to see: setting up a blog or even writing your own biography or novel.
All you need is a pen, some paper and a small bit of inspiration. Why not start off by meeting our online Writer in Residence, Maureen Lee, who'll be blogging about her experience as a writer and passing on helpful tips and advice on writing?
You may like to also read our top writing tips by writers Nii Parkes and Anna McKerrow to get going - we also have activity sheets to download.
Our two case studies, Joe and Kate, who both turned their memoirs into an autobiography, will prove to you that you really can be a published author at any stage of your life. But you don’t have to go as far as writing a book. Maybe you'd like to try writing poetry – or simply send an e-card to a friend to tell them about Bookbite.
Finally, once you’ve got your creative juices flowing, why not enter one of our writing competitions. Good luck!
