ONLINE COURSE KLAXON! I'm helping my mate @wendypratt.bsky.social host a four week course in August! If you're interested in connecting to the landscape using non-fiction writing (particularly memoir) then this course is for you :D Details can be found here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/finding-yo...

This four-week memoir course with @wendypratt.bsky.social looks fantastic! Wendy's book, THE GHOST LAKE, was one of my year's highlights when it was published in 2024, capturing something of the experience of being a woman living in rural places more insightfully than anything I'd read before. ✒️📚💚

Come and take up space with me as a woman in the landscape. New zoom memoir course starting in August. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/finding-yo...
