On this page you can find links to more than 50 stories produced in ‘Imagine there’s a future’ workshops. Each of them has been written from scratch in less than one hour, so should not be considered as being representative of that writer’s work. Most are fragmentary, or in very rough first draft form; none have had the benefit of the editing process. This hasn’t stopped the authors from producing invigorating work on a wide range of themes.
My thanks go to all the participants for their generosity in letting me use their stories, and particularly to the guest speakers, whose expertise and imagination have provided a world for our characters to inhabit.
