A former judge of the BBC National Short Story Award Michèle Roberts has written twelve highly acclaimed novels, as well as collections of short stories and poetry. The Times described her as “one of those writers descended perhaps as much from Monet and Debussy as Virginia Woolf or Keats…. To read a book by her is to savour colour, sound, taste, texture and touch as never before”. Her latest novel The Walworth Beauty was published last year.
The Institute of Continuing Education (ICE) is home to the University of Cambridge Centre for Creative Writing, and this free talk is designed to open your mind to new possibilities in your reading and writing. Other events on the day include, talks, workshops, and a panel discussion. Book a full day for a maximum of £30. If you are still eager for more and wish to indulge in a 3 course meal alongside hearing from Cynan Jones- winner of the Short Story Competition last year, why not add dinner for £35?
If your writing would benefit from some fine-tuning and professional feedback, why not sign up for a 1:1 supervision with one of our specialist tutors? Dr Sarah Burton, Professor Jem Poster and Dr Lucy Durneen will be available for consultation throughout the day. Book in advance by email to zara.kuckelhaus@ice.cam.ac.uk, specifying which tutor you would like to see, and when.
If this day-long festival merely whets your appetite, investigate our Creative Writing Retreat which follows on from the event from 8-13 July.
