Marina Benjamin is a writer of personal essays, family memoir, creative non-fiction and, most recently, a trilogy of books exploring midlife experience in real time.
The Middlepause and Insomnia were widely acclaimed at home and abroad, and have been translated into nine languages. A Little Give, published last year, completes the series. Her essays have appeared in Granta, Aeon, the TLS and the Paris Review. She is a Royal Literary Fund Fellow and a regular tutor for the Arvon Foundation.
‘There is great value to writing in a focussed fashion while being ‘held’ by both a tutor and peer group. Granta courses offer a well-designed blend of independent work and expert guidance. I’m delighted to be leading a cohort of memoir writers, helping them to shape and hone their work.‘
