You are invited to a writing workshop on Sunday 1st November
at 4pm.

In this writing workshop, participants will be introduced to the life and works
of several writers who were known for their portrayal of ghosts. From the
unforgettable ghost of Banquo in Macbeth to
Jane Austen’s parody of the Gothic in Northanger Abbey,
we will be using spooky passages from the works of Shakespeare, Charles
Dickens, Ann Radcliffe, Jane Austen and Henry James as inspirational writing
prompts. The workshop is being held the day after Hallowe’en, so why not?

Each prompt will be introduced, with information about the author and the text,
and then participants will spend some time writing before sharing (if they want
to!) their work with others.

Even if you do not usually write in this genre, writing in other genres can
help to improve your preferred style and become a better wordsmith.

This workshop is presented by Caroline Webber. Caroline has a doctorate from
the University of Liverpool (UK) for her research on eighteenth-century
literature and editorial practices in Gaston de Blondeville by
the Gothic novelist, Ann Radcliffe. Caroline’s critical edition of Gaston de Blondeville was
published in 2020. She is currently working on a critical edition of
Radcliffe’s St Alban’s Abbey (2020) and
Radcliffe’s travel writing (2021).
