Inspiration - conversations with writers from the Royal Literary Fund

Where do writers get their ideas? How does an image, a line of dialogue, a news item or even a memory spark a story or poem?

In this panel, Northern-based writers and RLF Fellows Mark Morris, Caroline Cauchi and Susan Elliot Wright will read short pieces from the RLF Vox archive to kick off a conversation about the creative process.

They’ll share their own insights into what ignites their creativity, how ideas evolve, and what to do when the well runs dry, so whether you’re a new writer chasing your own inspiration or simply curious, this event offers rare insight into the minds of working writers and the unpredictable nature of creative sparks.
