Scottish Book Trust: Live Literature Sessions

We are very pleased to announce that the Scottish Book Trust’s Live Literature Fund has awarded us with support for four workshops in 2023! We’d like to thank Live Lit for this wonderful opportunity, which has allowed us to welcome a variety of talented and acclaimed authors and artists, offering workshops at Shambellie House. We’ve been working on putting this programme together, and so far we have three of the four sessions live and ready to book on our website.

Burns & Beyond: A Poetry Workshop for Young Writers (ages 9 – 13yrs) with Writer-in-Residence and the Burns Birthplace Museum, Simon Lamb

Create Your Own Zine: A Mini Folded Zine Workshop (ages 14-18yrs) with brilliant writer, illustrator and animator, Candice Purwin

Writing the Unreal: A Fantasy & Horror Creative Writing Workshop , a fantastic creative writing workshop for adults with acclaimed author Kirsty Logan
