Bold Types Creative Writing Workshops
Would love to enter but need a bit of encouragement? Have no fear because our Bold Types workshops are here to help you be bold! One of our fear-free sessions is the ideal place to try out some fantastic fiction and ravishing rhymes with gentle but thought-provoking writing exercises, oodles of inspiration, and editing encouragement. These workshops are suitable for all levels of creative writing experience.
Bold Types Creative Writing Workshops, Thursday 14th September, 6pm to 8pm, Zoom, Free, Women* only
Sessions also in person at GWL: Friday 18th August, Saturday 9th September
These creative writing sessions will be facilitated by poet and workshop facilitator, Giovanna MacKenna. Giovanna’s’s life has been built by words: while listening to the voices of her Scottish father and Italian mother; in reading the books that formed a lifeboat through her childhood; by working those she spoke on stages as an actor and the many she interrogated as a journalist. Giovanna’s first full collection is available from The Museum of Loss and Renewal Publishing. Recently she’s judged Glasgow Women’s Library’s Calm Slam 2023, been a Visual Verse lead writer and had work published in Sídhe Press, Stanza Cannon, Black Bough and Nine Pens.
