\"\"AKA Radical Imaginings<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scottish writer. I specialise in short stories that explore emotions, personal relationships and the beauty of mundanity. I am working on my first book (slowly!)that looks at female friendship as a radical space, and also at class dynamics in Edinburgh.<\/p>\n

I have been running Radical Imaginings creative writing workshops for a year. I love having the chance to meet like-minded writers, get inspired and create a low-pressure creative space each month. A big obstacle to my creativity is giving myself set time to write. The workshops provide assigned time to find your inspiration and do some writing.<\/p>\n

The idea behind Radical Imaginings came to me when I was thinking about why it is that I actually want to be a writer. To me, writing, imaging and reflecting creatively are such a radical deviation from the ‘productivity’ and ‘hussle’ mindset of today’s mainstream culture, in which, for anything to be worthwhile, it has to be commodifiable. F that!!!<\/em> Imagining other ways of being is a radical act to me. If you agree or are interested in thinking about alternative modes of creativity further, then this workshop is the place for you.<\/p>\n

Workshops take place on the second Monday of the month. They run monthly at Duncan Place, Leith at 6.30. They are 1 hour long.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
