Melanie Atkinson – Writing The Modern Ghost Story 11.00am

Thursday 18th September 11 - 1 Join horror author Melanie Atkinson (‘The Last Night In Amsterdam’, ‘The Woods Are Full of Eels’ and ‘Our Lives Are Full of Spectres’) for a workshop on writing the modern ghost story. This workshop is an opportunity for anyone who wants to write their own ghost story, even if they have never written before. Instead of the classic ghost stories of the previous century, such as ‘The Woman In Black’ and ‘The Haunting of Hill House’, this workshop will focus on more modern elements of this traditional genre. There will be discussions about the main themes and tropes of ghost stories and then an opportunity to begin writing your own piece with writing exercises to take place within the workshop. Please note this may involve reading examples of your work, so this should be something you would be comfortable doing. This workshop hopes to allow writers, from beginners to those more experienced, a chance to experiment with the genre. £5 morning ticket includes any coffee tea, hot chocolate or any soft drink
