For those joining us internationally, we are delighted to announce that we will be live-streaming two panel discussions during the British Council Literature Seminar 2024. Register for the livestreams here and see you online!
- Panel Discussion 1: ‘Microscope’ chaired by Helen Oyeyemi on Friday, 15 November, 11.30 CET/GMT+1. With Sarah Bernstein, Eliza Clark, Camilla Grudova, K Patrick and Eley Williams.
Description: On beginnings. Starting out as fiction writers: what sparked the desire to begin writing, what kind of inspiration took hold and what kind of culture do you consume that feeds that? In writing itself: how, where and in what manner do you establish perspective to begin a piece. Expect: a discussion on establishing (or discovering) perspectives that generate imaginary exchanges.
- Panel Discussion 2: ‘Telescope’ chaired by Helen Oyeyemi on Saturday, 16 November, 11.30 CET/GMT+1. With Sarah Bernstein, Eliza Clark, Camilla Grudova, K Patrick and Eley Williams.
Description: On keeping going. How does one sustain the early momentum as a young novelist? How do you negotiate crossing the boundaries from the personal, and relying on one’s own experiences, into the impersonal, and developing narratives that might not be based in familiarity. Expect: observations and insights into the establishment of a literary sensibility, and how an author might direct that once it has hatched.
