"Play with the truth – stretch it, warp it, bend it to your will. Turn it absurd, grotesque, glorious, maximized. Turn it to fiction. Turn it to fantasy. Turn it to an even deeper truth." brevity.wordpress.com/2024/12/06/t...

New Writing Live is live!

This Thursday it's UEA New Writing Live! Entirely run by students, without funding. As a team, we believe that reading your work for an audience is a rite of passage for a writer. For most of our student readers, this is their first ever opportunity. With special guest, alumnus Robert Ashton.

Carrie Etter gave a superb reading at New writing Live last night and she was a dream to interview! Still on a high this morning.

We’re delighted to be welcoming Robert Ashton as our special guest reader for New Writing Live on November 28! Reading from and discussing his Wainwright Prize long listed book, Where Are The Fellows Who Cut The Hay ⭐️
