RuptureXIBIT Writing Mentoring- Examining & Expanding your Writing Practice

Writing with sound: Engaging the senses is often key to drawing the reader into our writing, but sound is sometimes overlooked. This month’s writing workshop will explore how writing with and about sound can engage the reader and enrich our writing practice.Through readings and short writing exercises we will explore how we might bring sound into our work. We will look at a variety of texts, including poems by d/Deaf, British Jamaican poet Raymond Antrobus.Suitable for all writing levels, from absolute beginner to experienced.

Join writer nad mentor Anna Johnson for an afternoon of experimental writing workshops, readings and discussion that will help you open out your writing practice to new possibilities, or get you started if you are new to writing.

Suitable for both experienced and brand-new writers. We will offer a nurturing, non-judgemental space in which to take chances and find ways to inspire and enliven your practice.

Anna will draw on their own practices, as published writers of poetry and fiction, to guide you through exercises designed to open out your practice to new ways of thinking and working.

There will be opportunities (but no pressure!) to share and discuss the work you produce during the workshops.
