The Institute of Continuing Education (ICE) is home to the University of Cambridge Centre for Creative Writing, and this discussion is designed to open your mind to new possibilities in your reading and writing.

This discussion  will offer a glimpse into the exciting and important world of the independent publisher. The session will feature Ra Page, founder and CEO of Comma - since 2007, the UK’s most prolific independent publisher of short stories - and Rukhsana Yasmin, deputy editor of Wasafiri- a publication that has been committed to seeking out new and emerging international and BAME writers for over 30 years.

Other events on the day include, talks, workshops, and a panel discussion. Book two workshops and save £5 (you must be logged into your account for the discount to apply) making the 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
