Writing and Place, Aug 18th – Aug 23rd, The Hurst, Shropshire.
This practical course will deepen your understanding of a sense of place in both fiction and creative non-fiction, and introduce you to new ways of looking at and engaging with the landscape. These five days will encourage you to map your own or a character’s journey through a landscape; look closely at the ways in which surroundings impact on psychology and explore the symbolism in the natural landscape.
Tutors: Mark Illis, Pippa McCarthy, Guest: Diane Whitley
