Shelley Silas

Following the success of last year’s workshop, Shelley will be sharing her creative process and helping you find your own, whether for academic or other purposes. There are no formulas, all you need are passion, a good idea and to keep writing. The rest is up to you. Everyone welcome. Bring paper, pens, computers and questions.

Shelley Silas (@shelleysilas) writes for radio, theatre, TV and has published several short stories. Her last radio play was on earlier this year, Comfort Girls, about the kidnapped Nigerian school girls, written for the BBC Radio Four strand, From Fact to Fiction, where plays are conceived, written, recorded and broadcast within five days. She is currently developing two TV series, and adapting Booker prize winning novel Heat and Dust for BBC Radio Four. Shelley is also a Royal Literary Fund Fellow at LSE.

This workshop follows Why Do You Write? And Can Knowing That Even Help? With Jonathan Gibbs taking place from 10-11.15am.

This event forms part of the LSE Space for Thought Literary Festival 2015, taking place from Monday 23 - Saturday 28 February 2015, with the theme 'Foundations'.
