Parkinson’s UK launched their new creative writing toolkit in January 2017. It was developed over a year by a group of people with Parkinson’s and staff at Parkinson’s UK.
Do you want to write but don’t know where to start? Or want to take the next step with your writing? This toolkit includes useful tips, resources and advice from other people with Parkinson’s.
The original idea for the toolkit came out of a workshop with people affected by Parkinson’s. It’s been written and produced by a group of creative writers affected by Parkinson’s in collaboration with Parkinson’s UK. Each section will give you hints, tips and links to useful resources that will help you develop your skills, explore new styles of writing, understand the publishing industry and market your work.
It’s a tool for everyone, whether you’re just starting to think about writing or you’re ready to publish your first piece of prose or poetry.
Dip in and out of the sections, download the worksheets, take your time and get creative!
