Mslexia Novel School – ONLINE

10-14 July 2023

Mslexia Novel School is for writers embarking on a new novel or rethinking a work-in-progress. Four leading writer-tutors will each focus on a single aspect of the novel writing craft, creating a varied week of high-quality workshops.

Craft is crucial. But this will be a week that will nurture the whole writer.
That’s why, in addition to our core Novel School material, we’re also including motivation and goal-setting workshops led by experienced writing coach Bec Evans, drop-in surgeries with counsellor Hilary Jenkins for anyone who’s feeling a bit lost, and warm-up workshops led by our course MC Rosie Garland – novelist, poet and performer extraordinaire – who will introduce you to fellow writers on the course.

We know individual attention is all-important, so our novel workshop groups will be limited to 12 people – which means your tutors will have time to get to know you and your writing. The core teaching takes place from 10am-4pm, but groups will come together for the coaching workshops and socials – to form a community of likeminded writers who will become your friends for life.

Uni-Verses: Poets at the Great Exhibition Road Festival

Sunday 18 June
Time: 4pm

Sir Alexander Fleming Building (G16 lecture theatre).
Imperial College,
Imperial College Road
London

Great Exhibition Road Festival culminates in a performance at 4pm Sunday 18 June.
Poets Rosie Garland, Cheryl Moskowitz & Jack Cooper take to the stage with space scientists Vicky Fawcett & Amelie Roberts to discuss the inspirational nature of space and perform their favourite cosmic poems – including some written by the public over the festival weekend.

Uni-verses: Write your own space poetry

Saturday 17 & Sunday 18 June
12.00-12.40, 13.00-13.40, 14.15-14.55, 15.45-16.25, 17.00-17.40
Imperial College Road
Imperial College, London

Create your own space poem, with award-winning poets and scientists who explore the universe and worlds beyond our own.
Space is a constant source of awe-inspiring beauty, fundamental questions and revolutionary discoveries. It is also a vast expanse of extremes which can be hard to comprehend. How can anyone conceptualise the differences in size between a sun, a solar system and a galactic super cluster. How would a human experience the pressure and heat of Venus?
