dt-digital-webimg-creativewritingworkshopsFrom concrete and real locations to those spaces we occupy inside our own heads, fiction needs a landscape.

Whether your prose is set in a realistic and named city, an imagined world in outer space, or inside the mind of an animal, the world in which it is set is invariably a combination of real and imaginary elements.

Focusing on short prose and novel writing, Carly Holmes will explore these themes, drawing on both her own fiction and those writers she admires.

Free, but please book ahead.
