Poster which reads: Writing Philosophical Fiction with Dr Rachel Handley. When: Wednesday 25th March 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm, Saturday 28th March 1 pm to 3 pm. Where: Liverpool Central Library, Hornby Library. All writers welcome! All is need is a pen and paper. Participants will produce several pieces of flash fiction during this two-hour workshop. Designed for adults, the workshop introduces key philosophical themes found in different parts of both literature and philosophy and guides participants in writing in response to those themes. We will look at topics such as the climate crisis, what it means to be a person, and oppression. Rachel is a lecturer in philosophy, a science fiction author, and a poet. Their writing has been published by Arlen House, The Liminal Review, Sonder Magazine, and Poetry Ireland, among others. Alongside their teaching in philosophy, they often teach creative writing. Most recently, they facilitated a workshop at York Literature Festival. The poster includes logos for Liverpool City Council, Liverpool Central Library, the British Philosohical Association, The University of Liverpool, and #philosophymatters For enquiries, contact Tom Bunyard at t.bunyard@liverpool.ac.uk

Come write some philosophical fiction with me in Liverpool!

The workshop is free, fun, and you'll get lots of writing done!

Everyone is welcome, all you'll need is a pen and paper, and there's no need to book ✍️
