Through an interactive two or three-hour workshop with an academic and/or ambassadors, students will examine either Gothic, Supernatural, Weird or Folk Horror writing from the writer’s perspective and identify the key features of the chosen genre. The final part of the workshop supports students to practice their fiction and short story writing skills.

Please specify your preferred genre or a “general fiction” workshop at the time of booking.
