Word Factory: Writing in the first person with Jarred McGinnis (Online)
Sat 15 May 2021 to Sat 15 May 2021
We are delighted to welcome back Word Factory friend, novelist and short story writer Jarred McGinnis as he leads a writing seminar focused on the art and ethics of the first person in your creative work.
In an hour and a half of discussion and writing exercises, Jarred will share the lessons learned from writing his forthcoming novel 'The Coward' as well as using examples from other authors to demonstrate the limitations and opportunities offered when the 'I' is present in your fiction, reportage, memoir and auto-fiction.
