This creative writing toolkit was written by Julie Wheelwright, in collaboration with Ruth Beecher based on research undertaken through the British Academy’s Small Research Grants scheme (SRG24\241457) with funds provided by Wellcome. We piloted this creative writing methodology with early career researchers working on sexual violence, and in two earlier workshop series run under the auspices of the Wellcome-Funded Sexual Harms and Medical Encounters (SHaME) project led by Professor Joanna Bourke.
