Behind The Spine
Behind The Spine is a podcast which find learning opportunities for writers in the most unlikely of places.
It’s a crowded market, so we’ve set out to do something different. Focusing less on the actual craft of writing, and more on the lessons writers can learn from the world around them, Behind The Spine has a core listener base of writers. Whether short-stories or screenplays, fiction or non-fiction. If you put words on a page or a screen, this podcast is for you.
The audience comprises a wide range of writing experience, from accomplished novelists and screenwriters, to novice writers taking their first steps as wordsmiths.
The podcast is also of interest to people who want to learn about the narrative of a wide range of topics. From artificial intelligence to sport. From food & drink to a doctor’s bedside manner – anything that has a narrative.

What types of storytelling sessions do you offer?
The Writing Salon is primarily for people looking to improve their writing, whether through practical exercises, genre deconstruction, or inspiration. However, this is not restricted to fiction writing. We have many regular members who write non-fiction. Everyone is welcome. In addition we offer private sessions for businesses/organisations/private groups looking to understand more about story structure, and how to use it more effectively. Get in touch and we can discuss your bespoke requirement. We can offer bespoke deals from one-off events to an ongoing series of private events.

There will always be a free version of The Writing Salon, but some in-person events may require you to be a member of the venue in order to attend. We only have a small guest list to do book in early in you want to attend.
