“Out of the margins and reclaiming centre stage: the power of historical fiction & the rewriting of myth to give voice to the voiceless.”
Rosie Garland discusses the inspirations behind her novel The Fates at Alderney Literary Festival, March 28th 2025

Writing and re-writing – from notebook to publication
Drawing on examples, Rosie Garland will talk about editing processes and how to make technical decisions. There’ll be practical tips on the pleasures and pitfalls of research, coping with false starts and setbacks, as well as ways to use advice and support from writing groups, editors, and agents. She’ll reflect on the importance of process rather than product, with suggestions for using freewriting and morning pages to spark ideas. And importantly, stressing the joys of creative play & a deeper understanding of the natural mess of the writing process.
