‘THE INNER STORY’
a Life Writing Masterclass with Cathy Galvin
tickets £25 (includes tea and biscuits)
The spaces between memoir, life-writing, poetry and creative non-fiction have never been more blurred or exciting. They offer us a chance to create narratives from real life in a range of innovative ways. This class offers new perspectives to inspire your work and thinking aimed at looking inwards: what do you want to say? How do you want to say it? It aims to increase your confidence in stepping beyond what can sometimes appear to be the accepted publishing rules. Come with your current work at your side or a blank notebook. There will be exercises, conversation and analysis aimed at broadening the potential of your writing and imagination.
