Words and
Women is launching a series of
Writing Sundays in the community to support their bid to raise funds for a
virtual office and website.
The series of exciting writing workouts designed to be an
energizing dip into creativity and held on 3 Sundays in September and one on
the first of October are led by professional writers in prose, poetry,
scriptwriting, and devised theatre. Learn how to
kickstart your first novel with Sarah Ridgard, join poet Julia Webb on the theme of family and childhood
in poetry, devise theatre with Hannah Walker and transform a Suffragette text
into a contemporary script with Belona Greenwood. Book up for all four or fix
on one that sparks your imagination.
The workshops take place in The Old Hospital Chapel,
Fellowes Plain, Norwich, NR1 4DL all between 10 and 12 a.m (except for week 3
which will run between 9.45 – 12.15).
The workshops are just £20 each. They are open to all levels of women writers – there really is something for everyone. Book all four and get a 10% discount. Bookings open from August 19th at www.wordsandwomennorwich.blogspot.co.uk
If a workshop
doesn’t appeal then Words and Women are asking supporters to dip into their
pockets and support their crowd-funding appeal.
The
voluntary organisation run by Lynne Bryan and Belona Greenwood are seeking to
raise £3,500 by the end of September 2017 by asking people to become supporters
offering donations of £5 and £25.
In return for their generosity,
£5 supporters will receive advance notice of events and competitions planned
for 2018. The supporter’s name will also
appear on the sponsors’ page of a new 2018 publication, the Words & Women
compendium.
Become a Super
Supporter for £25 and receive all of the above and a free copy of the
compendium which will be published on the 8th March, International
Women’s Day. Their name will also be entered in a prize draw for a bumper
selection of books by women writers, published in the UK.
