T’Articulation’s Write Mind: Penning Mental Health onto the Page.
The Eldon Building: 7.00 – 9.00 pm
An 'in tandem' event where a panel comprising: Amanda Garrie, whose longer fiction uses Jungian archetypes and folkloric tropes in the exposition of characters; Tom Sykes, whose upcoming memoir, The Years of Travelling Anxiously, explores how writing about one's anxieties, depression and fears, can be therapeutic; Judy Waite whose teen fiction often has a focus on neuro-atypical characters that are challenged by, or a challenge to society. The event will include an immersive writing workshop, led by Judy – an expert in delivering such experiences. All panel members are academic lecturers in Creative Writing. FREE*
* There is an option to donate during checkout if you would like to help with our overheads.
