About

Ian Grosz

I am a socially engaged writer, researcher, and creative community engagement specialist working in the heritage sector. I hold a PhD in Creative Writing awarded by the School of Language, Literature, Music and Visual Culture at the University of Aberdeen, with research and outputs that focussed on place and identity.

My writing is often centred on our relationships with landscape, nature and place, and encompasses fiction and poetry, as well as narrative nonfiction. My work has been published widely across a range of magazines, journals and anthologies, both in print and online, and my practice has led to collaboration on projects in exhibition and film. I am part of the Paperboats Writers collective, and creator and host of the Paperboats Podcast.

GET IN TOUCH

I welcome any opportunity to collaborate on a project. I am particularly interested in creative placemaking, oral and social history, and any project with a community or place focus. As an experienced facilitator and tutor, I am available for general creative writing workshops as well as workshops exploring writing specifically through landscape, nature and place.

A list of recent publication can be found on the site, along with details of past and current projects and creative writing workshops. Links to some of my online essay writings can be found under WORDS.
