About All About Writing

All About Writing was founded in 2007 by novelist Jo-Anne Richards, scriptwriter Richard Beynon and Trish Urquhart. We are passionate about writing and have devised our courses to help communicate that passion – plus the skills that make it all much more than an academic exercise – to others with a similar calling. Operating from Simonstown in South Africa and from the River Great Ouse in the United Kingdom, we offer courses, both online and virtual, that promote good writing. They include creative writing and scriptwriting courses, intensive online writing workouts, coaching and mentoring programmes as well as workshops and writing retreats including our annual retreats in Venice, Italy and Stow-on-the-Wold in the UK. Jo-Anne Richards is an internationally published novelist with a PhD in Creative Writing from Wits University. Her first novel, The Innocence of Roast Chicken, was originally published by Headline Review in the UK, and has recently been rereleased as one of the prestigious Picador Africa Classics collection. She ran the Honours programme in Journalism & Media Studies at Wits University for fifteen years. Richard Beynon is an award-winning film and television scriptwriter with a long and accomplished career in the industry. He has written for – or headed the writing teams of – many of South Africa’s most popular soaps from Isidingo to Scandal and S’gudi S’naysi. .
