Autumn is the season that most makes us reflect on the changes the year brings. After the long summer days, it gets darker, earlier. The leaves change from green to orange, and fall – hence the name the Americans give this time of year. The colours of the natural world seem ever more lovely as they begin their inevitable process of decay. As the wh...

With being indoors and looking inwards an ...
There’s a long traditional of telling scary stories in the dark, from October all the way through to Christmas – why not be part of it? If you want to write spooky tales (or read them!) autumn is the perfect time to try your hand at writing a ghost story.

The happy bustle of preparing for Santa? We’re in romcom territory here – and with Christmas on the horizon, there’s a natural trajectory to the passage from late summer...
Autumn is at once symbolic of plenty, ripening, harvest, and abundance; and, at the same time, a symbol of decay, decline, old age, and even death, with associations of things being past their prime.

Oct 8, 2024 · Writers love Autumn. I’m sure there are loads of reasons why. The gesture of new beginnings? The darkening nights? Woollen socks? Mulled wine (no, it’s not too early)?
