About the event

WALKING THE EDGE | WRITING THE ISLAND
✍️ Join us for a creative writing workshop that explores walking, memory, and identity along the south coast of the Isle of Wight. Drawing playfully on archival materials, we’ll invite participants to reflect on what it has meant — and means — to live on or visit the Island. Through writing exercises inspired by coastal walks, local wildlife and landscape, we’ll explore how place can shape our writing. 🌿🐚

Led by:

📚 NICOLA J. WATSON, Professor of English Literature at The Open University, specialist in place-writing, literary tourism & museums, and author of The Author’s Effects: On the Writer’s House Museum (2020).

👩‍🏫 EMILY BULLOCK, Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing at The Open University, and author of The Longest Fight, Inside the Beautiful Inside, and Human Terrain (longlisted for the Edge Hill Prize 2022).

✨ No prior writing experience needed — just bring curiosity, a notebook, and a willingness to explore (in mind or body).

Limited spaces available.
