  • Italy Group: Switching between Genres

    Virtual Event

    Do you find yourself writing different types of text? How do we navigate between styles of writing suited to e.g., journalism/academia/fiction/creative non-fiction/biography/education/children's books/poetry/plays/screen writing? What are the technical differences between styles and difficulties of switching? Does living between two or more countries and using more than one language play into this somehow?
