WRITE Festival at The Word

The preview of my solo exhibition will take place at The Word, South Shields on Thursday 10th May and will continue until the 21st June 2018. It will coincide with the WRITE Festival which returns to The Word between 12th - 25th May 2018.



"After a fantastic first year, the second WRITE Festival boasts an even bigger programme of events for people of all ages to enjoy!

WRITE Festival celebrates writing in all its forms and this year, with more than 40 events spread over 2 weeks, you will be able to enjoy writing workshops, performances, comedy, storytelling, poetry slams, a silent book disco, a murder mystery night and more.

Make sure to book your tickets early to avoid disappointment!"



Here are a few examples of what is to come.

POETRY SLAM WORKSHOPS WITH JENNI PASCOE

"Join multiple slam winning poet Jenni Pascoe as she eases you through the process of creating your own poems, guides you through performance techniques, and prepares you to take part in WRITE Festival’s very own poetry slam."



WRITING OTHER WORLDS – CUCKOO YOUNG WRITERS

"Led by a professional writer and supported by group leader, Lisa Burns, the group will take pen to paper to write other worlds, create a parallel universe and to explore the extraterrestrial."


AN INTRODUCTION TO SELF-PUBLISHING

"Graeme Wilkinson, author, artist, musician and graphic designer, from Sixth Element Publishing will run this friendly and informal workshop.

He will cover topics including how to write, self-edit and revise your final manuscript, the production process of typesetting, proofreading and print, as well as the all-important issues of distribution, sales and marketing."


GETTING YOUR VOICE HEARD – INPRESS DAY

This session explores the increasingly diverse number of ways to get our voices heard, both through utilising new technology and grass roots print movements.

From self-publishing zines to submitting poems to anthologies, there have never been more creative ways to get your work out there and start on the track to publishing success.
