About this Event
A hagtale, a dark fable, a story told around winter’s fires and known to Shakespeare but never written down. Until now.
Join The Writers Workshop in celebrating the recent release of Hagtale: A Macbeth Origin Story (Scribe UK, 2025) by Sheffield-based novelist Sally O'Reilly, a story told from the perspective of one of the witches. We will chat with Sally about how this novel came to be and dive into its characters and themes.
There'll also be an opportunity to buy the book and get it signed by Sally.
And afterwards, it's over to YOU for the open-mic segment. We'd love to hear your poems, flash fiction, exerpts, or whatever you'd like to share in five minutes or less.
To secure an open-mic slot, get an 'Open Mic' ticket. If the Open Mic tickets have sold out, email [email protected] to be added to the reserve list (in case we have no-shows or more time on the night).
This edition of Sounds About Write is FREE to attend! But donations are always welcome: all proceeds support our activities to promote Sheffield talent.
