MEET THE CREATOR

Hey, I’m Angela!

I’m Angela Carr, writer and Creative Director of Wordbox, a new creative writing resource designed to bridge information and skill gaps for self-taught writers. Drawing on years of teaching and mentoring, I’ve developed inspirational programmes and learning resources to help you grow in skill and confidence as you develop your work from first draft to publication.

Your writing is a vital form of expression — it’s how you make sense of yourself and the world. I help you amplify the strength and clarity of your ideas via thoughtful creative choices, to deliver powerful work that resonates with readers and publishers.

Wordbox is here to help you get started, develop your craft and reach your writing goals. Check out our innovative writing events to unleash your creativity and learn new skills or book a one-to-one session to gain clarity and insight on your latest work.
