We are thrilled that Heather Parry will be joining us in the Mitchell Library for a creative writing workshop. This will be for anyone to join in, whether you are new to writing or have been writing for a while and would like to meet some new people that like writing too!

Heather is a writer of fiction and nonfiction. Her debut novel, Orpheus Builds a Girl, was shortlisted for the Saltire Fiction Book of the Year award and longlisted for the Polari First Book Prize!

Her most recent novel Carrion Crow has been described by the Financial Times as "A worthy entrant into the contemporary gothic hall of fame" and praised by favourite gothic and horror authors Julia Armfield and Lucy Rose:

‘As mesmerizing as it is surreal, a haunting gothic tapestry’ Lucy Rose, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Lamb

‘I loved it’ Julia Armfield, author of Our Wives Under The Sea

Heather is a wonderful and experienced facilitator of creative writing workshops.
