FREE | Historical Fiction: Creative Writing Showcase
June 22, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm EDT
A showcase for creative writers, inspired by Samuel Pepys’s diary
About this event
At this online event, creative writers will share pieces they have written, inspired by figures and episodes from Samuel Pepys’s diary.
Pepys’s diary of the 1660s is famous for detailing Pepys’s hectic private life, alongside major events such as the Great Fire of London. In the diary, there are also glimpses of the lives of female servants, enslaved Black people, and other Londoners whose lives barely appear in more conventional historical records. It’s a great source for writers.
This showcase follows on from historical fiction workshops run by the Reimagining the Restoration project.
All welcome!

Please note:
The Valley of Writers team scours the web looking for the most inspiring, elevating, and accessible events that we can share as a service to our readers.
The big idea is that in a virtual arena, more people can participate. Geographical boundaries matter less.
The events we list are virtual and can be attended by writers from wherever they are in the world.
Unless otherwise stated, we are not affiliated with and do not benefit financially from the events we post. Listing is not an endorsement of the content, opinions, or products promoted by the event organizers we feature here.
Please verify all dates, times and other event details as these are subject to change and are beyond our control.
What qualifies an event as ‘lit’? Any event that we think would teach writers of fiction, memoir, and poetry useful skills, inspire them to produce great work, remind them of the power of this work we do and build stronger, mutually beneficial ties between writers and other creatives.
