  • Seeing authorship through a ‘fungal’ lens

REwilding the text: reimagine narrative structure & form

Wednesday 9th April, 12noon (UK time)

  • Exploding the ‘rules’ of structure and form

  • Revitalising and composting what we already have

  • Meandering through alternative ‘wild’ forms of text

  • Creating new forms of your own

A Feral Revolution: a wilder approach to publishing

Wednesday 16th April, 12noon (UK time)
