Birth, death and the big bits in-between: prose writing and rites of passage – with Fiona Shaw

Take part in this creative writing workshop and explore how you can begin to write about those life-changing events, whether in fiction or in life-writing. 

 Fiona Shaw began writing her first book following her treatment for post-natal depression after the birth of her second child. What initially began as a way of regaining the lost memories ended with the critically acclaimed and disturbing study, Out of Me, which was first published in 1997. Her first novel The Sweetest Thing, was published in 2003, followed by The Picture She Took in 2005.
