This four-week deep dive into the strange and uncanny welcomes both beginners and experienced writers ready to unsettle, disrupt and reshape reality. From eerie domestic scenes to monstrous metamorphoses, folk horror to fungi-fuelled fever dreams, we’ll explore haunted houses, haunted bodies and stories that disturb and decentre dominant narratives.
Whether you're working on fiction, memoir or poetry, sign up to enhance your craft and open new doors to your imagination!
Each week offers close readings, prompts and exercises designed to ignite your weirdest, wildest ideas. Drawing inspiration from writers such as Mariana Enríquez, Helen Oyeyemi, Sayaka Murata, Mona Awad, Julia Armfield, and more, you’ll sharpen your craft, expand your imagination and strengthen your writing confidence.
Gather your cauldrons and creepy dolls, and come and get your weird and spooky on with Write like a Grrrl!
