What makes words impossible? To the blocked writer, words can be an elusive currency, stubbornly refusing to flow. For linguists, words present a different challenge—how to define them. What makes a word a word? What distinguishes a word from a morpheme or a clause?

In this interactive online workshop linguist and fiction writer Dr Jodie Clark will share her unique perspectives on the creative possibilities of language structure with inspiring tips to help writers get beyond the blank page.

Curated by Sheffield Hallam University.

What is the Handling Charge for?

To ensure tickets are delivered safely and securely and to keep the price as low as possible for you, the ticket buyer, Off The Shelf - Sheffield Hallam generally uses our E-ticket system unless otherwise stated.

For this service we charge a small Handling Fee to cover the debit/credit card processing fees, customer services, processing and distribution of tickets and our secure server costs. We always try to keep these costs to an absolute minimum. If you feel at any time that our prices are not fair or competitive we'd be happy to hear from you.

Delivery

If you have ordered physical paper tickets there is a further Delivery cost added to cover the delivery of your order through the Royal Mail network.

We always endeavour to keep these costs as low as possible to merely cover the costs of postage. We only charge you one Delivery cost per order so if there is a big group of you recommend purchasing larger amounts in one order.

When you purchase tickets through Off The Shelf - Sheffield Hallam, the full face value of the ticket is shown. This price is the price set by the event organiser and we pay this full amount to the organiser without any deductions.
