Description
Two events in one evening – a creative writing masterclass and later, the main event with readings and a panel discussion, with award-winning writers, Carolyn Jess-Cooke (UK) and Antoine Cassar (Malta), in conversation on writing trauma.
A Creative Writing
Masterclass (starting at 19:00) about the art of writing creatively, led by best-selling author Carolyn Jess-Cooke and facilitated by Josianne Mamo. This masterclass has a focus on internal and external conflict, and developing these to inspire poetry and prose. This event will accept a limited number of participants, and booking is highly recommended.
The main event will be a discussion about writing trauma, at the Main Stage at 21:00.
How do we even start to write about trauma? What implications are there for different forms and genres of writing: fiction, autobiography, poetry, feature writing? If the self always ‘shows up on the page’, as Cooke puts it, how do we protect it, ensure we lead it on a journey towards healing? Carolyn Jess-Cooke and Antoine Cassar unravel what goes on in writing the unspoken.
The event will be followed by a book-signing.
