WORKSHOP: The stories of places:
A literary approach to writing local histories with Dr Janine Irvine.
Anyone who has written, is writing, or thinking about writing local histories will find this interactive workshop helpful. We will contemplate local history books from literary perspectives to reflect afresh on past and current projects or planning new ones. The workshop first considers important questions about the purpose and planning of local history book projects, and then considers practical matters of research, writing and publication. There will be time to discuss many questions, get advice, and talk about your projects.
This is a follow-up from the talk on this topic from Wednesday 6 September 12pm.
