Come see this face in person this Saturday!

A field of study is doomed when it surrenders its claim to be relevant to the real world, to how we live our lives in relation to other human beings, & cultivate mutual understanding. Isn't that the very point of the humanities?

Join us for our new workshop, First Steps in Writing Creative Non-Fiction, in person in Norwich on 12th July. We can’t wait to meet you and share what we’ve learned from writing, editing, publishing and talking about creative non-fiction over the last 6 years www.eventbrite.com/e/hinterland...

Another thing I’m doing (it’s going to be a busy ol summer!) is running this nonfiction writing workshop for beginners, in the newly renovated Carrow House here in Norwich. Come join me!

One of the questions I’m asked most is about feedback and mentorship for nonfiction writers - well, I’m offering a new service via Hinterland. So, if you’re a nonfiction writer in need of a close read of your manuscript or in search of a mentor to help develop your writing, check it out.

Great work! Thank you.
