Thursday 11th March 2021 18:00 - 20:00
Doors open: 5:55 pm
Do you live or work in Greensand Country? Are you an aspiring writer? Are you passionate about your local landscape and often feel inspired to write but you’re not sure how to go about doing so?
Well, why not join Dr Tim Jarvis to learn more about landscape writing and how our surrounds can help shape our creative response. These workshops will respond to Greensand Country, encourage you to explore your local environment and build confidence to help you share your work.
Greensand Country Landscape Partnership are delighted to commission Tim Jarvis to deliver this course.
Tim Jarvis is a writer and, for the past six years, lecturer in Creative Writing at the University of Bedfordshire. As a writer (under the name, Timothy J. Jarvis), he works on prose fiction which often has supernatural elements and engages with both rural and urban landscape writing. He has written work inspired by the Bedfordshire countryside, including ‘The Song of the Goatsucker’, a ghost story of a kind set at Old St Mary’s Church, Clophill, which appeared in the Harvard Review in 2020. His first novel, The Wanderer, was published by Perfect Edge Books in the summer of 2014. Other recent short fiction has appeared in Chiaroscuro Void, The Shadow Booth, Bitter Distillations, Invite to Eternity, and other venues. He is also interested in drone and ambient music and has collaborated with sound artists on performance. In 2012, he was shortlisted for the Lightship International Short Fiction Prize.
