This month, we are thrilled to welcome award-winning author and memoirist Aminatta Forna to the Dare to Write? Academy stage, where she will host a series of online workshops and talks for writers and readers of all levels of experience.
There are four fantastic events on offer:
-
- a two-week Masterclass in Advanced Fiction and Memoir for writers who have a substantial project in progress (i.e. a novel, nonfiction manuscript, or similar),
- two expert Craft Workshops*,
- and a chance to ask Aminatta your burning questions during a Q&A style ‘In Conversation’ session.
Find out more and book your place now! Head to the Dare to Write? Academy programme overview. The Masterclass and Craft Workshops have limited places that are sure to go quickly, so book soon to avoid disappointment!
