About this Event

Spooky scary skeletons invite you to book your spot on a spooktacular free creative workshop at the HalloZINE FAIR...

Feed the Monster: A Haunted Generative Writing Workshop

Join author Lyndsey Croal for an appropriately seasonal generative writing workshop. During the workshop, you will be guided through a series of exercises and prompts to hopefully build the bones of a new idea or even complete a short story or flash in the workshop. This will be a relaxed workshop and will be suitable for any level of writing experience.


About Lyndsey Croal
Lyndsey Croal is an award-winning author of dark and speculative fiction, with stories published in over ninety venues. She writes sci fi, horror, and folklore-inspired tales from 100-words, to full novel length, and everything in between. Her longer works include Limelight and Other Stories and Dark Crescent, and her 100-word stories have inspired the zines Cecilia has illustrated and produced.


Numbers are limited, so ensure your place on this workshop by grabbing a free ticket via this Eventbrite!
