As part of Moniack Mhor’s 30th anniversary celebrations in 2023, we launched a series of online masterclasses taught by respected writers and tutors, many of whom have long histories with Moniack Mhor. Whether you’re new to writing, polishing your umpteenth draft, or simply want to try a taster of a different style, form, or genre, we’re confident you’ll enjoy and be inspired by these focused shorter sessions. All hosted by Moniack Mhor on Zoom Pro, usually with an opportunity to ask questions at the end. More of these to come during 2024 – we’ll keep you posted! Meanwhile, enjoy …
Tenses and Tension
In this 2-hour masterclass, author Helen Oyeyemi will discuss and set you writing exercises on different approaches to maintaining an element of unpredictability in your fiction – whether that’s aimed at the reader or more for self-motivational purposes. Also includes a short Q&A.
Helen will also be leading a second fiction masterclass, Embroidery, on 1 August 2024.
Tutor
Helen Oyeyemi’s books include What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours, Gingerbread, and the forthcoming Parasol Against the Axe. She’s a recipient of the Somerset Maugham Award and PEN’s Open Book Award, and her novel Peaces was shortlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize. (Author portrait by Mikoláš Bílek)
