Arvon: Non-Fiction with Rory MacLean and Melanie McGrath
Mon 24 Feb 2020 to Sat 29 Feb 2020
Winter has always been the season for gathering thoughts and sharing stories. We invite you to do both during this week, exploring the research, storytelling craft and imaginative leaps that will help you create narrative truth from fact.
Whether your interest is in family history, travel writing, memoir or other forms of creative non-fiction, the week will offer you the techniques and the confidence to start, or continue to write true stories.
