Workshop: Weirding the Everyday With Lauren Mooney

In this interactive workshop on genre-blending and slipstream fiction, writer Lauren Mooney shows how to reframe the familiar in unexpected ways, using the uncanny, the weird and the eerie in order to surprise and unsettle - because as Mark Fisher says, 'since the eerie turns crucially on the problem of agency, it is about the forces that govern our lives and the world.'Examining genre more widely - and how it can be used to elevate and extend literary fiction - you'll respond to creative prompts to produce your own passage of uncanny prose and discover how to unlock your own writing through playful use of genre.
