COMING UP FOR MEMBERS

LUCY ROSE workshop: 'Beneath the Surface' 10 November

BENEATH THE SURFACE: crafting surreal literary narratives
For writers who are excited by uncanny details, surreal imagery and fragmented realities, we’ll be developing fiction that lingers, surprises and unsettles, and uncovering our characters’ everyday strangeness. We’ll explore surreal imagery, subtle distortions of reality, and find ways to stretch your narrative beyond the ordinary.

For fans of transgressive literary fiction from the likes of Julia Armfield, Sophie Mackintosh, Ottessa Moshfegh, Daisy Johnson and more, we’ll uncover the stories, worlds and characters that lies just beneath the surface.

Lucy Rose's Sunday Times Bestselling debut novel, The Lamb, is published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson in the UK and HarperCollins in the US.

When: 7–9pm Monday 10 November
Where: Zoom

HOW I DID IT with Elizabeth Lovatt 27 November

Join author Elizabeth Lovatt for a special one-hour online workshop and an honest, practical look at what it really takes to get your book into the world. Elizabeth will share her experience of writing and publishing her debut non-fiction book Thank You For Calling The Lesbian Line, exploring the creative, emotional, and logistical challenges of finding her voice, finding an agent, and working with editors. You'll also have plenty of space to ask all your burning questions!

Elizabeth Lovatt is a writer of fiction and creative non-fiction currently living in London. Her first book, Thank You For Calling the Lesbian Line, was published by Dialogue Books. It has been described as “a timely and vital exploration of how lesbian identity continues to remake and redefine itself in the 21st century” and “a heartfelt history of the gay community”.
