Plans for our next Solstice Shorts Festival are talking shape. This little video we made for the crowd fund explains the concept pretty well. (We could really use some help with the crowd fund folks!)

As information comes in from our partners and collaborators, I will be doing showcases of them and their work. So excited to be working with such innovative and dynamic people!

Let me introduce you to the Lancaster organisers, brimming with energy and enthusiasm!

Yvonne Battle-Felton and Naomi Krüger who between the (co)organise a whole heap of regular literary events in Lancaster: Stories at the Storey, North West Literary Salon, and Off the Page, and now run North West Literary Arts

Yvonne has also been creative producer of Lancaster University’s literature festival and  created an award-winning radio show, The Writing Life, where she interviewed writers about how they made a living with their words and provided a platform to share information and literature.

Naomi is a writer, a lecturer in creative writing at University of Central Lancaster, and she has a novel soon-to-be published.

Yvonne has already confirmed us a venue for the event, at The Print Room Cafe at The Storey.

WRITERS and MUSICIANS the call out will open soon. Start getting your minds round the theme of Dusk.
