Writing and Housing

All writing comes from a sense of place, and that place is defined by our connections to home, real and imagined. Join poet, writer and performer, Holly Pester, whose much-anticipated debut novel The Lodgers explores the dramas of contemporary living as she empowers your writing to find its foundations and build a framework whether fiction, non-fiction or poetry in our memories of shelter and dreams of home.

All writing levels are welcome in this 90-minute creative writing masterclass.

Presented by TIFA in partnership with the Humber School for Writers.
