A fun workshop designed to spark the imagination and generate a plethora of story ideas for you to explore. We all have moments when we cannot seem to generate fresh ideas, or when we are too daunted by the challenge of the next book to feel able to simply play. Whether you work with short fiction or longer forms, this workshop will introduce you to a variety of prompts and exercises that will kick-start your imagination, inspire your creativity, and help you recognise which shiny ideas have the potential to grow.
Your Workshop Leader
A conservation scientist and third culture Scot, Lorraine lives by the sea writing stories influenced by folklore and the wilderness. She is the author of a multitude of short fiction, and five novels, most recently We Are All Ghosts In The Forest. Winner of a BFA for her short fiction and the Society of Authors ADCI Literary Prize for Mother Sea, her books have also been longlisted for the BSFA, finalists for the BFA, Kavya and Saltire Awards, and twice winners of the SCKAwards. Lorraine has been stalked by wolves, caught the bubonic plague, and befriended pythons, but she now sticks to herding cats.
