about your life and family, using all five senses
as story starters and thinking about how the
people around you speak – because place is
about people. There will be practical exercises
to find the telling details that make a piece of
writing feel richer, and we’ll look at short extracts
from authors inspired by the city, the countryside
and historic landscapes. Tickets £15 per
person, strictly limited numbers 3pm - 4.15pm
