Workshop this weekend
There's still time to book!
|
This weekend’s workshop invites you to raid your memory banks and use them as springboards into fiction that’s entirely new. Your past is full of stories waiting to be transformed. The people who shaped you, the places that haunt you, the objects you can’t forget.
Join writer, Colette Coen, as you work through practical techniques aimed to encourage imagination play with memory. This isn’t memoir, it’s about that alchemical process of turning what was real into something wholly imagined. Discover how the senses and emotions you remember can deepen your storytelling and take you somewhere unexpected.
Colette is a writer who’s been widely published, most recently in Postbox, Causeway/Cabshair and Dreich. Her short story collection Forgotten Dreams, and novel, All the Places I’ve Ever Been, are available on Amazon.
She was a runner-up in the Mslexia Short Story Competition 2023 and was the 2024 Scriever for the Federation of Writers (Scotland). She regularly participates in live and online events and judged the 2025 short story competition for the Scottish Association of Writers. She also facilitates writing workshops, is a professional member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading and runs Beech Editorial Services.
