Creative writing in the archive Reclaiming the marginalised voices and imagined lives of eighteenth-century sex workers - Pay what you can £6 or £4
Working in the spaces between history and fiction with the premise that ‘if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you always got', Dr Emma Mitchell blends archival research with experimental creative writing practices and forms.
Emma generates historical fiction that engages with objects, perfume, needlecraft, herbalism and more to access the voices of women consigned to the margins of history and honour their experiences.
This session includes an introduction to her techniques, readings of her work, and some practical exercises, followed by a question and answer (Q&A) session. No creative writing experience needed.
