Tim Lott & Lucy Caldwell: How (not) to Write
Sorry, this event has sold out
Is the creative writing industry now bloated, with too many writers writing formulaic stories? Can writing actually be taught at universities or writing schools?
Tim Lott, novelist and author of Yes, But Not, But Wait...! will be in conversation with Lucy Caldwell to discuss the future of creative writing and what it means in the modern world.
Lucy Calwell is the author of These Days and a fiction teacher at Faber Academy. Lucy Caldwell lives in Folkestone.

Curating the festival for the first time, Jen and James have been inspired by Folkestone and how we can all come together through inspired discussion about global ideas, global thinking and possible futures.
