Catalyst Conversations on the Experimental Essay, Workshops, Submissions by 7 April, 2017

Experimental and Genre-Bending Essays
Elizabeth Reader, Creative Writing Tutor, University of Glasgow is organizing a pair of catalyst conversations and workshops around Experimental and Genre-Bending Essays. This is a call for participants.
Elizabeth is seeking people who are interested in looking at experimental, cross-discipline forms as a way to finding the best way to say complex things. The workshops are free, and open to writers, artists and thinkers across disciplines and mediums. Please spread the word.
How to apply
Places are really limited and in order to apply for a place please email a 50 word bio and a sample of your own experimental writing of no more than 400 words (it can contain images too, as long as it’s a size that email can handle) to EssayCatalystConversations@gmail.com
Applications must be in by Friday 07 April and places will be confirmed by 12 April. Priority will be given to people who can make both workshops.
We look forward to hearing from you. – Elizabeth Reeder

A day-long conversation and workshop where writers will be talking about and experimenting with genre-defying and hybrid writing – including working with images and other mediums as we explore important, essential and difficult subjects and themes.
