News – Nov 2025

I’m honoured to be this year’s Bridport Prize flash fiction judge! Send me your word-shapes of 250 words & under, the pieces you think only you might love, that might be “too strange” or “not quite enough…” There are no rules!

And why not join me for my first Zoom workshop of 2026 – Unbox Your Words: Permission Workshop – Getting Out of Your Own Way! Monday 19th January 7-8.30pm UK Time. This is a workshop I have taken to running every January which is not about making resolution but helping you spot your writing taboos, shoulds and shouldn’ts, so you can kickstart your New Year of Writing! Concession, free and pay-what-you-can places availble. Details and booking here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/taniahershman/1889189
