Workshop Title: Finding your Unique Voice in Fiction

Workshop Level:  All levels

Workshop Summary: What makes a writer’s voice unique, compelling and memorable? We will undertake a high energy, experiential creative practice workshop exploring essential elements of fiction writing, through writing prompts and short readings of selected stylists, with a particular emphasis on what generates ‘voice’ and ‘character’ (in their broadest sense) on the page. As a playwright, novelist and short story writer I’ll introduce elements of each of these creative forms to help spark that place of inspiration and impulse.

Biography: Lisa Harding’s first novel Harvesting won the Kate O’Brien Award, was shortlisted for an Irish Book Award and the Kerry Group Prize. Her second novel Bright Burning Things was a Today Show Book Club Pick, a New York Times Editors’ Choice, a People Magazine Pick and an Observer, Grazia, Irish Times and Irish Independent highlight for 2021. It was shortlisted for the Kerry Group Irish Novel ofthe Year and a Dalkey Literary Award. Her new novel The Wildelings was an Observer, Harper’s Bazaar, The Economist and Irish Times choice for 2025.
