Swimming to the Shark: Writing to Boost Wellbeing and Face Fear - Tues 25 Feb

Delighted to be welcoming Hackney-based author Georgie Codd to Dalston Writing Group on Tues 25 Feb (6.00 to 7.30pm) for a session focused on writing and wellbeing.

Georgie's brilliant new book We Swim to the Shark (published by Fleet Books) describes how she confronted her [stand back, new word alert] ichthyophobia, or fear of fish, by swimming with the biggest, baddest ones she could find: sharks. 

Georgie will discuss her book, the journey it entailed, and present some exercises to demonstrate how creative writing can help us confront our own insecurities and fears. There'll be some copies to buy on the night.

You can hear Georgie talking about her book on Radio 4's Woman's Hour here.
