When two or more unlikely objects collide, what unexpected magic might result? 

Join Tania Hershman for an online workshop in which we'll be colliding all manner of things — from physics to fairy tales, detectives, spaceships, insects and histories — to find wondrous and novel ways for you to tell the stories you want to tell in whatever form you want to tell them, from short stories to poetry and hybrids! 

Over the two hours, we'll be looking at examples and playing with different types of colliding, including ways to rejuvenate a piece of your own writing as well as creating brand new work. 

Come and make magic!

Everyone with a ticket also gets the replay link.
