WRITING FOLK HORROR
Online Writing Workshop, July 17th, 6:30pm-8:30pm
Tickets £12-£15 from https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/writing-folk-horror-with-alex-davis-tickets-652820021257

The Workshop:
With folk horror undergoing a resurgence, the fields and the forests look darker than ever. But how do you go about writing in this exciting subgenre, and what do you need to know before you start? In this session we’ll explore the definition of folk horror, look at some key examples both past and present, serve up a series of writing tips and techniques and get you thinking about your own tales with a writing exercise.

Learning Goals:
• To define what we mean by folk horror and distinguish it from other subgenres.
• To examine key examples of folk horror both modern and classic.
• To offer writing advice on how to create great stories in the form.
• To develop a folk horror plotline through a writing exercise.
