beyond form creative writing

At Beyond Form Creative Writing, we believe a writers’ creativity should not be defined or limited by literary traditions and that all stories deserve to be told, and told in whatever way suits them best, regardless of literary traditions. We make our products and courses accessible to all, actively foster community in experimental practice and employ experimental teaching methods to give creative writers permission and space to explore their work. We are a creative writing hub, offering courses, mentoring, publications and events all dedicated to exploring experimental forms.

hillfoots tales

Sharing the magicHillfoots Tales is a fledgling Community Interest Company (CIC), based in Clackmannanshire, which is connecting people and place through the magic of storytelling. “We had a wonderful evening and every family I spoke to commented on how much they had enjoyed the event. The stories kept everyone enthralled throughout. The use of puppets and soft toys captured the attention of our younger listeners and the local tale was enjoyed by all (with many commenting that they had not heard it before). Thank you for supporting our story and supper event. Your exciting stories were thoroughly enjoyed by all. The evening was made even more magical thanks to your input!” Headteacher, Fishcross Primary “In the summer of 2019, Jo led a workshop for Primary 7 pupils based on the Ochil Fairy Tales. The children took part in a variety of activities: painting scenes on stones, reciting poetry, listening to the stories being told and exploring the nature that is referred to in the tales. The children were fascinated to learn about their local folklore and asked lots of questions. It was a valuable experience for them to hear stories spoken and led them to explore storytelling techniques themselves.”
