We have a guest in The Writers' Room this week - Lauren Davison

Lauren Davison is a Creative and Professional Writing student, currently studying at the University of Derby and she answers the big question – What is a creative writing degree really like? 

Lauren developed a passion for writing at a young age and in an interesting place! She enjoys writing both fiction and non-fiction, and exploring new genres through the modules of her joint honours degree.

In this interview, Lauren talks about the benefits and struggles of completing her degree in the middle of a pandemic and some lessons she has learned along the way. 

In this episode, Lauren’s must-read book recommendation is:  Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within by Natalie Goldberg. 

Lauren has been a valued team member here at Derbyshire Writing School for quite a few months now. Lauren writes regular blog posts for our website and has lots of great advice to share. You can read Lauren's blog posts here. You can also find Lauren on Twitter.
