SUMMARY:Who’s Lore is it Anyway? Queering Scottish Folktales with Elisabeth Flett
DESCRIPTION:Come along to the archive for a queer folklore-themed writing workshop with Scottish author Elisabeth Flett! Elisabeth’s 2025 novel No Such Thing As Kelpies is an LGBTQ+ modern re-imagining of Scottish fairy tales and folkloric creatures. Together we’ll be learning a few fun facts about Scottish folklore\, hearing a couple of extracts from Flett’s book and trying our hands at writing our own queered tales. This will be a relaxed\, fun session – no need to have previous experience in writing\, just come with something on which to write and a hunger for some tale twisting! \n\n\n\n\nBook a ticket\n\n\n\n\nAbout the facilitator \n\n\n\nElisabeth Flett (she/they) is an award-winning writer\, theatre-maker\, musician and general feminist trouble maker. A 2021 graduate of the Elphinstone Institute MLitt course in Scottish Ethnology and Folklore\, Flett is fast becoming a well-known figure in the world of queer Scottish folklore with their 2024 solo storytelling show The Selkie’s Wife enjoying particular acclaim. They are passionate about mental health awareness\, LGBTQ+ rights and gender equality\, themes which often feature in all forms of their work as a creative practitioner. \n\n\n\nWhat to expect \n\n\n\nAn informal creative workshop in a small-group setting. The workshop lasts for 2 hours with a break in the middle. No experience necessary and no advance preparation needed. We will have material for you to use here. \n\n\n\nBooking \n\n\n\nTickets are pay-what-you-can. Booking in advance is essential as places are limited so\, if you are unable to attend\, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer your place to someone else. \n\n\n\nVenue & Accessibility \n\n\n\nThe event is located at the Lavender Menace Queer Books Archive in Edinburgh Palette.
