Next meeting of Dalston Writing Group will be at Dalston CLR James Library on Weds 11 May, 6.00 to 7.30pm. (Please note - the shift to Weds is for this month only. In June we'll be back to our usual Thursday slot on 9/6/22)
For this session we are very pleased to have Catherine Madden leading a workshop. Cat is studying for a PhD in The Contemporary Novel Practice as Research at the University of Kent.
This workshop will explore writing about relationships from different points of view. Using an exercise partly based on chance, we'll generate a piece of fiction based around a character’s life experiences and connections with others.
Even more events!
As part of Hackney's Festival of Learning, on Weds 25 May, 3.30 to 5.00pm, Jon will be running a special memoir and life-writing workshop at Dalston CLR James Library. If you, or anyone you know, would like to come, drop us a line via the 'comment' option.
On Thurs 30 June, 6.00 to 8pm, we're delighted to have novelist Lorraine Brown back to host this year's City of Stories Home Celebration event at Stoke Newington Library. Details and registration here.
