***It is with sadness we say Emily Hasler will no longer be able to join us for this event. In her place, we warmly welcome local artist Juliet Lockhart!***
What does it mean to be a 'local writer'? How do you make fiction, or poetry, when you personally know and live in the area that has inspired you? How does this process happen, and what might be your rights and responsibilities? Manningtree Art's Zoe Biles hosts a discussion with two local writers whose latest works are centred on the people, places, fauna and flora closest to home.
'Local' novelist Kate Worsley's first award-winning novel She Rises (Bloomsbury 2013) was set in 1740s Harwich, Essex.
