Writing Bogwise
Magical places and new approaches: online writing workshops with Clare Shaw and Anna Chilvers
A series of eight online workshops exploring how moors, swamps and other boggy places don’t just offer inspiring locations and fascinating subjects – they also guide us into new ways of writing.
With expert facilitators Clare Shaw and Anna Chilvers, you'll travel to bogs, moors and peatlands around Britain and beyond, and asking - what can we learn from bogs? What do they need from us? How can that seep into our writing?
