Review Writing Workshop with Tara McEvoy

Whether you’re new to writing reviews, or want to think more in depth about the history and possibilities of the form, this workshop will cater to a range of interests! You will discuss notable examples of the form, and strategies to enable you to write your own reviews, moving from summary into argument. 

Please come with an idea in mind of something you might like to review: a poetry collection, piece of fiction or non-fiction, a restaurant, an exhibition… the possibilities are endless!
