The Writing Salon is unlike any other event for writers. It seeks to draw inspiration from unlikely places as it dissects genre and narrative, explores fiction and non-fiction, and dives into all forms of storytelling. Through a mixture of video, audio, theory, practical exercises, interviews with guests, and a very social and engaged membership it will make you feel energised about your writing. Everyone is welcome, as well as all writing genres and formats. Some members have no previous writing experience – others write regularly for stage, page and screen. Whatever your level, you’ll get a warm welcome.
Join host Mark Heywood for the next edition of The Writing Salon on Tuesday, 12th November when we’ll be looking at female leaders in fiction. We’ll cover monarchs, politicians, figures from fantasy, comics, and science fiction, as well as the tools you need to avoid cliché and stereotype when writing strong female characters.
As ever, there will be a practical section, so grab your pencil cases, and we’ll see you there.
The session starts at 7pm but please feel free to book a table at the Club from 6pm to enjoy a bite to eat, or arrive a little early in order grab a drink before we begin (you can also book a table for 8.30/9pm to have your supper afterwards!)
Email reception@unionclub.co.uk to book. PLEASE NOTE – Writing Salon is getting very busy. Do make sure you RSVP to guarantee admittance.
