A well-crafted work of satire can interrogate complex political or social issues, be accessible to non-specialist audiences, and also be tremendously fun (to read and write!). Bring your novel ideas to this workshop with Dr Nussaibah Younis (author of 2025 Women’s Prize for Fiction-shortlisted Fundamentally) and explore the possibilities for improving their satirical power. Creator of a form that carefully balances humorous, character-driven plot with real world political insights, Younis will use her insights to offer practical creative advice.
