Emily Midorikawa will be holding next month a one-off writing workshop on the theme of friendship. The author who earlier taught creative-writing here, is returning on 15th October, Saturday, to hold this free workshop which is open to both men and women, that will permit participants to explore the different ways of writing about friendship, plus offer them a chance to make new friends here.
Emily used to teach with Lifelong Learning Service, under the name of Emily Crump. She is the co-author with Emma Claire Sweeney, of a new book called ‘A Secret Sisterhood’, which will be published next year by Aurum Press. The book tells the real-life stories of literary friendships, such as of Virginia Woolf, Jane Austen, George Eliot and Charlotte Bronte. The authors also run a website which celebrates female literary friendship called SomethingRhymed.com.
The workshop has practical exercises tackling different levels. The free workshop sessions will be open to both novices and experienced writers. The first session will be held from 2pm to 5pm, on 15th October, Saturday, at Spadling’s South Holland Centre. Another session, for those who missed it, will be held on 16th October, Sunday, from 2pm to 5pm, at Boston’s Fydell House. The places are free but limited, so please reserve a place y sending an email indicating your intent to attend one of the free workshops, to somethingrhymed@gmailcom.
