Direct Address

Online workshop with Ella Frears

Wednesday 8th October

6:30 - 8:30pm

​​

Who are we addressing when we write? How can shifting the tone disrupt or enrich that writing? You’ll experiment with writing in various forms of address – from love letters to emails, from formal complaints to grocery lists, from proclamations to DMs and everything in between.

Join Ella Frears for a fun and low-pressure poetry workshop thinking about modes of communication, presented in collaboration with The Writing School Online.

​

Ella Frears has been shortlisted for The T. S. Eliot Prize, a Sky Arts Award, and The Forward Prize twice. Her books Shine, Darling, and Goodlord are out with Corsair. She’s the RLF Fellow at the Courtauld, and hosts Tears for Frears on Soho Radio.

​

The Writing School Online: founded in 2020 by Kathryn Bevis, The Writing School is here to help you find your creative voice. A team of experienced, award-winning tutors offer personalised guidance through their courses.

This workshop is part of the Winchester Poetry Festival. It is hosted by The Writing School Online and will take place online only.
