SUMMARY:Creative Writing Masterclass: How to Write a City
DESCRIPTION:Join writer Elena Medel for a creative writing masterclass focused on cities and the built environment.  \n\n\n\nAbout the workshop:\n\n\n\nA city is made up of avenues and squares\, parks and buildings. Cities are inhabited by people: some live all their lives in the same neighbourhood\, others pass through them every day. And a city is also built by the memory of those streets\, those buildings\, those people. \n\n\n\nOver the course of the day\, Elena will guide you through writing prompts and group feedback sessions to develop your creative writing practice\, drawing on her own research and writing processes. Together you’ll think about the place you live and the lives of the people around you to inspire your poems\, stories or novels. \n\n\n\nThis masterclass is led by award-winning author Elena Medel. Elena was shortlisted for the 2025 Eccles Institute and Hay Festival Global Writers Award. Her book The Wonders was published by Pushkin Press in 2022 and translated by Thomas Bunstead and Lizzie Davis. \n\n\n\nSuitable for beginners. The workshop will be delivered in English. Each participant will receive a copy of Elena’s book\, The Wonders\, at the start of the workshop. Please email adultlearning@bl.uk with your accessibility requirements. \n\n\n\nA vegetarian sandwich lunch is provided. Please email adultlearning@bl.uk with your dietary requirements. \n\n\n\nElena Medel\n\n\n\nElena Medel (1985) is a writer based in Madrid.  \n\n\n\nShe was the first woman ever to win the prestigious Francisco Umbral Prize for her debut novel\, The Wonders (2020)\, which was also longlisted for the Dublin Literary Award 2023 and has been translated into fifteen languages.
