WRITING AS ADVOCACY: WHY I WRITE WITH YVONNE BATTLE-FELTON 7TH OCTOBER, ONLINE PARTNERSHIP UNIVERSITY OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE ONLINE. Writing can be a form of advocacy. Fiction introduces us to characters we might otherwise ignore, misunderstand, or silence. It exposes us to stories, empowers under-represented voices, questions dominant narratives, and reminds us that there are stories behind headlines and breaking news. Ideally, fiction encourages reflection, discussion, action, and meaningful change.

In this discussion, I’ll be reading from my debut novel, Remembered, and discussing why I wrote it, how it’s relevant now, and who I wrote it for. BOOK TICKETS
