Creative writing workshop at Corsham Library with Nathan Filer

Join us on Thursday 2 July at 3pm as award-winning novelist, Nathan Flier, leads participants through a series of writing exercises that draw on personal experience and narrative techniques. The emphasis is on craft rather than confession: building scenes, choosing detail, and shaping lived material into clear, engaging prose. The session explores how writing from life can raise questions of meaning and wellbeing without reducing experience to simple messages or resolutions. Suitable for writers of all levels.

This event is part of the Words Alive in Libraries tour presented by South Western Regional Library Services and Literature Works. Funded by Arts Council.
