Event details

In this two-hour creative writing workshop, open to all, we will look at ways that writers establish order from what is often a sense of creative chaos.  Led by writer and Teaching Fellow for Creative Writing, Lizzi Linklater (Centre for Learning), the session will lead writers to take risks, make unlikely associations and produce original and authentic work.
