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?

Writers’ HQ is honoured to host the launch party for the FUEL FLASH ANTHOLOGY
Join us on Wednesday 15th February at 7.30pm GMT for a very special online event celebrating the launch of FUEL: 75 prize-winning flash fictions raising funds to fight fuel poverty.
Come along to hear FUEL authors read stories from this unique, diverse and surprising collection. Winning stories from dozens of flash fiction competitions by authors from across the globe — exploding the myth that there’s a ‘formula’ for a contest-winning story.

Tickets to the event are free but please pay as you feel to donate towards the FUEL cause — all proceeds from the launch and book will be donated to charities combating fuel poverty in the UK, because no one should have to choose between heating their home and heating their food.
