Tales From The Towpath Workshop 1

Two connected, immersive literature-making workshops explore writing site-responsive texts. They’ll be using Manchester’s waterways as a starting point for a new piece of writing with historical, social and personal resonances.

In this workshop you will create a draft text that will be used for the second workshop on Saturday 18th October; attending both workshops is advised. Both workshops are designed for people with some prior experience of writing.
