About Elspeth’s workshop

This workshop will explore how we can use unreliable narration in fiction to heighten tension and explore characterisation.

Read your work at a sharing spot

There are five sharing spot slots available at the Salon and if you’d like to share your work please complete the following form by 11am, Friday 10 January: https://forms.gle/KPtBXWousUcKdfRm9

You’ll be asked to provide your contact details and a short bio and the reading you will be doing which should be no longer than 5 minutes. This is so we can send the work to our BSL interpreters in advance of the session. You can submit these in written English, video or audio file format.
