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.

I offer a twice monthly online group called Parallel Writing Club, co-lead the Writers’ Circle with Katie Watson, and facilitate the Writing the Self programmes. I am currently developing a series of guided writing workshops called Reflections on Creative Practice.

Parallel Writing Club

I lead an online body doubling space for writers to connect with others and gain support with building a regular writing practice. Our ongoing sessions take place twice a month on Fridays, 11-1pm. Ticket are free or £3 at checkout. Find our session details here.

Reflections on Creative Practice

I am currently developing a new series of guided writing workshops, which are suitable for online and in-person groups. I delivered the first session in this new series for We are Sensoria’s Chronically Ch(ILL) group, on the topic of pendulation, rumination and dreaming. I delivered my second session, ‘Starting with Fragments’, at the UpFront Survivors workshop weekender. Sign up for my monthly newsletter to be notified when my next listing is live.

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.
