Ennis Welbourne

My name is Ennis Welbourne and I use they/them pronouns. I am a writer and artist living in Bristol, UK. I lead and facilitate spaces for writers and creatives under the banner Access Narrative. I have ran 175 sessions for writers over the last five years.

My Experience

Over the last five years, I have lead or facilitated 175 sessions for writers:

59 under the banner of Access Narrative
50 Accountability Club body doubling sessions
66 tutor-lead writing sessions for London Lit Lab

Katie Watson and I co-facilitated 58 of the above sessions together.

To improve my skills with designing and facilitating safer creative spaces for survivors of child sexual abuse, I completed a 3-month creative leadership training programme with the Viv Gordon Company.

I am a survivor of sexual, physical, emotional and neglectful child abuse. I use my lived experience to develop more accessible community for those who are non-conforming, disabled, poor and who have experienced abuse.

I hold a first-class degree in creative writing from Bath Spa University.

Paid Support

I provide paid mentoring and editing services to writers seeking individual support with their creative projects.

I have been aiding writing tutors to deliver high quality online teaching since 2021. If you’d like to hire me for my facilitation services, please get in touch by emailing enniswelbourne@gmail.com.
