Nottingham City Libraries and Nottingham City of Literature have been selected by the BBC and Libraries Connected to run a series of workshops on the theme of Politics, Power & Protest - stories about the ideas, people and power struggles that shaped our world.
Join Eve Makis, Sophie Sparham and Michelle Hubbard, along with guest authors, to discuss creative writing practices, forgotten women’s voices in literature and how we can work together to design a manifesto for change. Read on to find out how you can book on to these workshops.
The Novels That Shaped Our World is a year-long celebration of literature at the BBC and explores 100 novels which have had an impact over the last 300 years.
Saturday 6 March, 11AM - 1PM on Zoom. Tickets are £15 per person, free to under 25s.
The workshop will include a discussion championing inspiring women in politics, power, and protest. We'll be joined by special guest author, journalist and presenter Zing Tsjeng, who will talk about her work, her path to publication and tips and inspiration for aspiring writers.
There will also be a book club discussion and Q&A so you can ask all your burning questions.
Saturday 13 March, 11AM - 1PM on Zoom. Tickets cost £10 per person, free to under 25s.
