Creative Writing – Ashley Thorpe

Artform: Creative Writing
Website: ashleythorpe.com

Ashley Thorpe is a Black British debut author who works as an editor at Storymix, where he helps other writers to create epic stories. His greatest wish is to bring diverse characters to life that he would have loved to have seen, but sorely missed, as a young reader.

Join Ashley, author of the action-packed middle grade adventure The Boy to Beat the Gods, for an event that explores how stories of old have evolved to make the new. Learn about how Ashley took inspiration from the incredible canon of Yoruba deities – the Orishas – how a love of manga and video games exposed him to mythology from around the world, and explore the fun and flexible nature of storytelling to create something new from tales of old.

If you’d like to book Ashley for a workshop in your school or community group, please contact Joel at [email protected].
