Welcome… I’m New Here! Hello literary world!

[JamesJCooper]

Hi all,

I hope everyone is well! I'm new to this whole literary scene. I'm currently writing a memoir which covers addiction and the recovery of it. It covers dark subjects including some of the trauma I had suffered in my twenties, which consequently lead me to seek solace in escape and my addiction. I'm here because I have no experience in writing whatsoever and am keen to seek advice, and potentially critique of my work so far.

I come from a working class back ground in the North-East of England and with no writing experience to speak of

I look forward to speaking with some of you and am hopeful to improve on my writing.

James

Hi James,

Welcome to Litopia. I hope you're finding your way around.

I too am working class by background, from the Northwest and back here now, but I lived in Durham for several years, so I know the Northeast well.

It might feel daunting as a new writer, especially sharing something as personal as memoir, but I hope you'll find the Litopia Lab a safe and nurturing space to give and receive critiques. Any questions, just ask.

Rachel
