Unbox Your Words Art of the Swerve Writing Workshop

Do you suspect that you’re often going down roads when you write that are so well-travelled they might be on the verge of becoming ruts? Is there a piece you’re working on – whether it’s fiction, non-fiction, poetry or a hybrid – that’s feeling stalled and needs a little spicing up? While swerving isn’t recommended while driving, there’s nothing better when on a wander than ducking through a hedge and seeing what magic lies on the other side, or forging your own route by dancing across open ground. Embracing the Art of the Swerve might mean writing in different voices, making new shapes on the page, crossing genres – but underneath it all is a sense of curiosity, play and an openess to experiment.

Swerving means 

                avoiding obstacles

means

      changing direction

means

  being 

                            unpredictable

means                                  not letting yourself be pinned down

           fixed

                  caught

This live Zoom workshop will be interactive, a combination of writing exercises and reading & discussion of a variety of pieces in different shapes and forms brought by Tania Hershman to inspire and pass on permission  - to create new work or help you write something you've wanted to write for a while but were having trouble approaching directly.

Join live online at the time and date shown using the Zoom link you will receive by email the day before the workshop. The workshop will also be recorded for ticket holders who can’t attend live, who want to watch again, or who miss a portion of the event. The link to the recording and any reading materials will be sent out to all ticket holders shortly after the event.
