This year, we’re taking our Bold Types Creative Writing Showcase online again, and we’ll love you to join us! Prepare to be dazzled by our shortlisted writers, as they read out their stories and poems on this year’s theme – CELEBRATION.
Bold Types Creative Writing Showcase, Thursday 18th November, 6pm to 7.30pm, Online, Free, 16+
Our wonderfully supportive and encouraging panel of judges include poet and filmmaker Sunnah Khan, member of 4 BROWN GIRLS WHO WRITE poetry collective; writer Noren Haq, whose short story features in the recent anthology A made in heaven: Muslim women write about love and desire; and GWL’s own Librarian, Wendy Kirk.
Winners will be announced on the night and prizes include a one-to-one mentoring session with one of our judges and a selection of covetable books!
This is one of our “attend” sessions this Autumn – sit back, relax and hear some bold and brave new writing!
