Immerse yourself in the past for an afternoon exploring historical fiction writing.
As a starting point for your own imaginings, this workshop, led by novelist Margaret Elphinstone, will look at the diaries of Henrietta Liston, botanist and diplomat’s wife, who travelled around America 200 years ago. Henrietta’s words transport us to another time and to other places – the villages of North Carolina, the dining rooms of Philadelphia, and the taverns of Virginia. With the opportunity to try fun creative writing exercises, this workshop gives you a taste of using historical material to inspire your own work.
