Suneeta will talk you through her own creative processes and choices in her two novels, Saudade and Homework, as well as works of non-fiction and poetry which mobilise ‘personae’, character, and voice for narrative purposes.
You will have the chance to flex your own storytelling skills by workshopping a short piece of narrative writing from the perspective of a child compared to an adult narrator in first- or third-person.
