Product Information

Writing and movement workshops were developed by Sally-Anne Lomas and Story Machine in 2021 around publication of Lomas’s debut novel, Live Like Your Head’s On Fire, in which Pen Flowers finds ways to cope with the pressures of adolescence through physical movement and dance.

Or put on free food so the event is leading with the idea of food and drink and then there’s an author in addition.
