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. 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, and Daisy Johnson, we’ll uncover the stories, worlds and characters that shimmer just beneath the surface.

Lucy Rose is a Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe class of 2025. Her Sunday Times Bestselling debut novel, The Lamb, is published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson (UK) and HarperCollins (US).

When: 7–8pm Monday 10 November
Where: Zoom
