Initial thanks to the Ronson Foundation, enabling us to  engaged Joanna Williams,  a qualified counsellor and also a novelist (published under the name Joanna Barnard) to lead these sessions. She is very interested in the intersection between creative writing and mental health, and has been facilitating writing for wellbeing classes for over seven years, as well as using therapeutic writing tools in her counselling practice.

Now funded elsewhere,these sessions continue once a month.    Jo selects a specific topic from which she reads aloud extracts of various writings to inspire members to produce their own work for the next session.

As a result of these sessions Eye Matter would like to publish your work.

Please email us any pieces you would like to have included in the forthcoming Eye Matter anthology. We are including poetry, short stories, prose, or anything you would like to share. As long as you wrote it, it does not matter where you wrote it.

Please quote the reference “Eye Matter Anthology”  and email:  suzie@eyematter.org.uk
