Spring Newsletter 2023
Welcome everyone, to our Spring Newsletter - a time when we’re both thinking about renewal, fresh projects and taking our writing forward.
Looking ahead to meeting a few of you on our Ignite Your Fiction Weekend Course in May! Check out the details on our website…
In the meantime...
WHAT WE’VE BEEN READING:
A Woman Looking at Men Looking at Women
These essays give a different lens on artists, the art world, writers and the patriarchal norms which infuse our ways of looking at men and women and the artwork they produce.
WHAT'S GOT US THINKING:
How a change of season can bring about a change in our creative practice - how trying out a new pen and notebook can be just the beginning of a whole new short story - or beginning of a novel, even! How moving the place where you write can transform the way you approach a creative project in hand.
Also: Debut novels by older women writers are having a moment? How interesting…
WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO LATELY:
A new essay from Kirsty on Henry James
A new essay from Meaghan on the notion of male genius
Meanwhile, after some years out of print, Meaghan’s first novel, In the Blue House has been republished in paperback. It was first republished in ebook form in 2022.
BE INSPIRED:
A poem by Mirza Ghalib, trans. By Robert Bly:
I have to write what's difficult
Otherwise it's difficult to write
INTERN OPPORTUNITY:
We are looking for a new team member to support our social media platform in exchange for free creative writing workshops and mentoring.
