The Reading Room Podcast with A Writer’s Lighthouse
”Reading is probably what leads most writers to writing.” Richard Ford, Author I’m a writing coach, workshop host, film and publishing marketer, and storyteller. With this podcast, I aim to get you past that figurative hurdle and back on your narrative path. In each episode, I’ll read selected story passages aloud and analyse these as a writer; inviting you to do the same with prompts and exercises to try for yourself at home. You might want to learn more about #creative writing, you might be writing your own story and need some inspiration, or you simply enjoy listening to stories being read aloud. Whatever the reason you’re here today, let’s get your story en route to completion. You can find me on social media @awriterslighthouse or through my website at awriterslighthouse.com.

Xeni Soteriou
In this episode, we explore the world of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland and how the author created a timeless children’s story, adored, adapted, and accepted by millions of readers across the world.
First, I’ll read the chapter aloud before exploring key passages with a close reading. You’ll then be given an exercise to try at home.
