Write & Shine: City of Imagination – Angela Carter and AS Byatt (Online)
Join Write & Shine bright and early, live from The London Library for a 90-minute virtual writing workshop exploring literary London.
Former London Library members AS Byatt and Angela Carter creatively intertwined myths and fairy tales with a vivid London backdrop in their writing. In this workshop, we’ll blend the real and the fantastical in our own writing to infuse the city with a sense of mystery and wonder.
This workshop is the fourth of our series of morning writing sessions, led by author Gemma Seltzer, exploring writing from and about the city. Inspired by the London Library’s rich literary heritage, we’ll look at city writers including Charles Dickens, Virginia Woolf, Patrick Hamilton, Sam Selvon and Nell Dunn and consider what the city offers both writers and readers.
Write & Shine workshops take place in the early morning light - the best time to think, dream and imagine! You won’t be expected to share your writing, which offers great freedom and encourages all kinds of fascinating ideas to emerge.
This is an online workshop via Zoom. Please log in at 7:30am for 7:45am start.
You will be sent a Zoom link a few days before the workshop (if you do not receive it, please check your junk file or email us).
