The theme of Book Week Scotland 2024 is “Hope”. How do we find hope in a world where bad things happen? 

In their work, award winning writers Helen Grant (Too Near The Dead, Jump Cut) and Alex Nye (Gallow Falls, Even The Birds Fall Silent) explore some very dark places indeed, delving into Gothic horror and crime. However, they frequently arrive at a place of conquering fear and finding hope. In this writing workshop, Alex and Helen talk about finding positive outcomes for the things that scare us. They also read from their work and lead some writing exercises to generate ideas, develop plot lines and create thrilling stories!

This event is part of Book Week Scotland, an annual celebration of books and reading that takes place

Complimentary tea, coffee and refreshments will be provided.
