Sefton Festival of Literature 2007
Running from Wednesday, 19th September until Sunday, 30th September, Sefton Festival for Literature 2007 has a programme appealing to anyone interested in various aspects of writing. Performances, poetry readings, exhibitions, workshops, writing surgeries and competitons are amongst the highlights of a packed schedule, which includes an appearance from Poet Laureate Andrew Motion, screenwriter and novelist John Mortimer, and poet and novelist Jackie Kay.
Here's what Cllr Lord Ronnie Fearn, Sefton's Council Member for Leisure and Tourism, has to say about the festival:
The Sefton Festival of Literature will be a fantastic celebration of all things literary and show that creative writing, poetry and performance offer something for everyone to enjoy. Experts on fiction writing, publishing and poetry will be on hand to offer free advice to budding writers, while artists will be leading bookmaking workshops.
The Sefton Festival of Literature is a two-year project and this year's inaugural event will set the scene for the 2008 celebration. I'm sure this will be a wonderful event and I hope that everyone takes the opportunity to get involved.
The events will be held at Southport Arts Centre, Atkinson Art Gallery and, Crosby Civic Hall and Plaza Community Cinema in Waterloo. To find out more information and book tickets, visit the Sefton Arts website.
