The ‘edge effect’ describes the nuanced diversity that exists at points where two ecosystems overlap – land and water, forest and grassland. A resonant metaphor for those of us who live at one or more social or experiential edgelands, places rich with complexity and innovation.

This writing workshop will be a non-binary, more-than-non, multi, fluid, oscillating and intricate investigation of the unique and fiercely felt otherlands, the places we exist, as well as the environments where we create and are created by place.

The workshop will be held on Zoom, using audio, camera, and text (chat box). We are committed to creating access-enabled events, so please get in touch if you have any particular access needs (including executive functioning and neurodiverse-related needs) and we’ll do our best to meet them. All genders welcome.

Mish Green is a UK-based writer working in poetry, short fiction, spoken word and hybrid non-fiction. They are currently writing a map of sea-level stories based on Hayling Island, following their critically-acclaimed debut collection in 2015 - Jebel Marra, with Comma Press. Their work often explores the overlaps of class, gender, disability and immigration, and they recently edited TransBareAll, an anthology of writing and art by transgender and non-binary artists.
