Words Alive in Libraries: Creative Writing Workshop with Nathan Filer
2026-04-25 14:00 - 15:30 | Bath Central Library, 19-23 The Podium, Bath, BA1 5AN, Bath, BA1 5AN, GB
In this workshop, Nathan will lead participants through a series of writing exercises that draw on personal experience and narrative techniques. The emphasis is on craft rather than confession: building scenes, choosing detail, and shaping lived material into clear, engaging prose. The session explores how writing from life can raise questions of meaning and wellbeing without reducing experience to simple messages or resolutions. Suitable for writers of all levels.
Nathan Filer is a former mental health nurse. His novel The Shock of the Fall won the Costa Book of the Year, the Betty Trask Prize and the National Book Award for Popular Fiction. It was translated into thirty languages. His nonfiction book, The Heartland: Finding and Losing Schizophrenia, was a Sunday Times Book of the Year and was longlisted for the Rathbones Folio Prize. His other works include the ARIAS prize-winning podcast Why Do I Feel? He holds a PhD in creative writing from Bath Spa University, where he also teaches and conducts research in mental health and creativity.
This event is part of the Words Alive in Libraries tour, presented by South Western Regional Library Services and Literature Works, and funded by Arts Council England. More ​tour events can be found here.

Bath Bloodhounds Book Group
2026-04-30 18:00 - 19:00 | Online Event
April Session: All The Colours of the Dark by Chris Whitaker

B&NES Libraries completely free, online only, crime reading, monthly book group!

This event needs to be booked & is held online.
From old-fashioned detectives to modern-day mysteries
Join us on the last Thursday of every month at 6pm to discuss our chosen crime book. We’ll send out the link to the secure Teams room a few hours before each meet-up, so you have plenty of time to make a cuppa and get comfy.
We have two wonderful volunteers, but encourage all members of the group to suggest books and lead sessions.
Volunteer Rachel Ward is the author of the popular Ant and Bea Mysteries set in Kingsleigh, a town which bears a remarkable resemblance to Keynsham. Rachel also wrote the YA series Numbers and hosts a fortnightly book group on twitter using the hashtag #CosyCrimeClub.
Our group is open to all LibrariesWest members. If you don’t yet have a library card, you register HERE.
The group is aimed at adults, but under 18s can join us if they are accompanied by a responsible adult.
Sign up for the July to June meet-ups. Places are limited, so reserve your space now!
You only need to book one session to be signed up to all!
If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to contact us or visit: baneslibraries.co.uk/groups/bath-bloodhounds-book-group

Upcoming Sessions
To find out about the next book we’re reading, visit our Events Calendar
We decide on books to read 2-3 months in advance, so you have plenty of time to get reading! We suggest you check if the books are in stock in your local Library in plenty of time, so you can place a reservation if they’re on loan.
