In this fascinating talk, Laura discusses her approach to narrative non-fiction, the role perspective plays in her craft, and the unreliability of memory.
Laura McDonagh is an award-winning second-generation Irish writer from the North East of England. She writes about grief, social class and cultural identity.
Laura's memoir 'Commonplace' - about growing up in an Irish family in Britain, her search for somewhere to belong, and the surprising discovery that grief can be a catalyst for a more creative, uninhibited life - is currently on submission.
Alongside writing, Laura runs Projecting Grief, a portraiture and storytelling project exploring the relationship between loss, creativity and healing, with photographer Jo Ritchie.
