About Wild Writers Studio
Founded by Andrew Buckley and Finnian Burnett, Wild Writers Studio is a creative space for writers who want more than polite workshops and safe storytelling. We’re here for the rule-benders, the genre-mashers, the emotionally brave, and the writers who feel the pull to create something unforgettable.
We believe great writing comes from experimentation, community, craft, and just a smidge of rebellion. Our workshops and multi-week courses are designed to help emerging and established writers sharpen their skills, deepen their voice, and generate powerful new work across their chosen genre and medium. Flash fiction, novellas, novel, screenplays, horror, fantasy, literary, romantasy, and more. Nothing is off limits.
At Wild Writers Studio, you won’t just learn about writing. You’ll write. A lot!
You’ll experiment. Collaborate. Break things. Fix them. Break them again.
Most importantly, you'll build stories. And if there's anything the world needs more of, it's storytellers.

A sought-after presenter at schools, colleges, writing conferences, and comic cons, Andrew delivers engaging talks on storytelling, writing, and the craft of bringing ideas to life. Beyond traditional publishing, he also creates immersive narrative experiences, including the popular DEADLY DINNER PARTIES series.
