Goldsmiths Writers’ Centre presents
Sell the Truth
Please email Maria MacDonald at M.MacDonald@gold.ac.uk to reserve a place
Goldsmith's MA graduate Eileen Horne talks about selling real stories - including her own 'detective memoir' as a radio play - and how she turned a footnote in history into a 300 page non-fiction book about Emile Zola. Her talk will offer practical tips to aspiring writers while exploring the pitfalls involved in selling the truth, the whole truth, and (almost) nothing but the truth.
Eileen Horne graduated from the Goldsmiths MA in Creative Writing in 2012 as a mature student. Using the course to steer her away from 20 years in TV and film drama production, she has developed a new career encompassing editing, writing for radio and literary nonfiction. Zola and the Victorians was published by the Maclehose Press in November last year. Her first book, written during her producing career, was titled The Pitch (Faber 2006) and offered insights about how to take the fear out of presenting creative material to financiers.?
This event will be followed at 6.30 by the latest in the Richard Hoggart lecture series, when Dame Gillian Beer will discuss ‘Plants, Analogy and Perfection: Erasmus and Charles Darwin in Argument’. Please come to both and stay for the drinks reception afterwards.
