Autumn Voices – An Online Reading with Moria Forsyth

Wednesday 15 October, 2025 – 7 p.m. – 8 p.m.

To kick start the Letting Go programme, you are invited to an online reading by Highlands-based author Moira Forsyth

Moira Forsyth grew up in Aberdeen, lived in England for nearly twenty years, and now lives in the Highlands. She has published five novels, as well as short stories and poetry. As Publisher at Sandstone Press Limited for over 20 years, she selected, commissioned and edited both fiction and non-fiction. She has delivered writing workshops and masterclasses, and provided individual feedback to authors for a range of organisations, including WEA Scotland, writers’ groups, community education and the Scottish BPOC writers network. These have ranged from beginners’ classes to sessions for experienced writers, on subjects such as beginning to write, writing novels and preparing for publication.

Tickets

Tickets are priced on a pay-what-you-can basis, from £0 to £10. All income raised goes toward the development of the project. Get tickets at Eventbrite

Moira is the first Autumn Voices  Online Writers-in-Residence. As well as giving this reading, Moira will write for the Autumn Voices website, and offer a series of three online writing workshops. For more details of these, see Letting Go.

LETTING GO is a programme of creative writing activities for older people, developed and delivered by Autumn Voices, and supported by the Creative Scotland Open Fund for Organisations.

The theme of Letting Go is taken from the book Autumn Voices by Robin Lloyd-Jones.

‘Much of our younger lives is about acquiring – acquiring partners, children, a good job, a house, material things. There comes a period in our lives when the scales tip and much of life becomes about letting go – downsizing, coming to terms with loss, letting go of what you can’t change and of unrealistic hopes and plans; and letting go of grudges and hatreds because it’s now or never. In letting go we help those old doors to close and the new ones to open.’
