Delighted to announce that the rescheduled Writers in Conversation, with our own Carole Burns, will take place this Tuesday, 30th April, Lecture Theatre B, on Avenue Campus, at 6pm. No need to book. Carole will be in conversation with Toby Litt about her novel, The Same Country

It's that time of the month to join us in New Milton for another fine Open Mic at Forest Arts Centre. Bring some words to share - yours or words you admire by someone else - and settle in for an evening of community connection, shared interest, and company. See you there?

You can hear me on BBC Kent this evening talking all things #writingforwellbeing - I’m on the second half of the upload programme between 6pm-8pm ArtfulScribe #writingcommunity bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0h…

We have a new Writer in Residence for the New Forest and we're delighted to say more about it here: artfulscribe.co.uk/news/96/new-fo…

🍃 Exciting News! 🍃 Thanks to generous support from ArtfulScribe & New Forest NPA I'm spending the next year in the woods as the New Forest's Inaugural Writer in Residence I'll be getting muddy, wrangling sheep & writing poetry at the Countryside Education Trust. Can't wait.

My first writing commission - DESTROY THE PRECIOUS THINGS - had an amazing first performance on Friday. Congrats to the MAST Mayflower Studios Young Company on a hilarious show, and huge thanks to them and ArtfulScribe for their support.

We're looking for new assistants to start in Sept and support young writers in the New Forest and in Poole on Saturday mornings during term time. You get to support the lead writer, learn how to facilitate, and have a great time inspiring the next generation of writers.

How to talk about, and write about, that which is beyond language? What bring us closer to wholeness? Towards recognising who we truly are, when all constructs are stripped away? eventbrite.co.uk/e/writing-as-s…
