1) WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO
"Stories in Winter" Spoken Word Event
This was a fabulous, packed-out evening. We expanded the format to be three hours, but there was such a wealth of talent that it flew past.

Nottingham Festival of Words.
We attended this new literary festival and ran our collaborative writing workshop. We were really pleased with how well-received it was.
Here's a lovely blog written by one of the attendees:
