Reclaiming Time as a Writer, with Alycia Pirmohamed
A masterclass on how to reclaim slowness and time in our speedy digital age. Writer and critic Alycia Pirmohamed considers how we as writers can be ‘productive’ whilst taking care of the self, pushing back on the frenzied modern pressure of the now-now-now and instead proposing a pace that doesn’t seek to shorten time: instead opening it up. In this webinar we reclaim our work as art, and reclaim our most sacred internal rhythms with it.
This event is part of the Conscious Writing Month 2025 Masterclass series from The Literary Consultancy. Curated by Jade Cuttle.
