Calling all aspiring writers and illustrators! ✍️
Durham Book Festival is your chance to get fresh inspiration and advice. At this year's festival, you can share your work with fellow Durham writers, or hear from master storytellers about how they approach their works-in-progress.
Plus for all aspiring children's book illustrators, we've partnered with Children's Books North to bring you interactive workshops and talks with some fantastic award-winning illustrators.
 Durham Writes: Scratch Night North East writers are invited to meet each other and share their work at this informal, fun and supportive event. Think ‘scratch-night’ meets ‘literary salon’. There will be scheduled performances from Durham writers, readings and witty word games from host, master wordsmith, Adam Sharp, author of The Wheel is Spinning but the Hamster is Dead, and the opportunity for you to put your name in a hat for the chance to share your own work at the end! |
 Pat Barker and Anna Barker: Dipped in Ink Anna Barker has spent the past decade uncovering the life story of one of Britain’s most revered living novelists – her mother, Dame Pat Barker. Dipped in Ink is Anna's forthcoming part memoir, part biography of her mother, spanning forty years of family silences, literary legacy and maternal relationships. Get an exclusive insight into the creative process of two superb storytellers as they share more about this work-in-progress. |
