Totnes Library Writers Group is putting on a one day literary festival, Write Now Totnes.
Whether you’ve never had the courage to put pen to paper or have been flexing your creative muscle for some time there will be something for everyone. Our writers and poets
will be there to encourage you, teach and inspire you. If you just want to soak up the atmosphere, browse the exhibition space and listen to performance artists, you can do that
too.
Have you ever wanted to write a best seller ? Crime, romance, or historical dramas, the basic rules are much the same. Do you enjoy reading to your children and wonder if you could ever write your own picture story book. You can find out more and practice what you learn.
You might want to learn more about blogging or podcasting, or perhaps you’re interested in researching local history and other subjects; we have published writers experienced in writing on-line, for radio, magazines and local publications.
Children can come free to a special workshop by Isabella the pedal pushing story teller. All our writers and eventers are local. Several are popular in word cafés and at local events on the circuit around the Totnes area and some are national personalities. Why not try your hand at something different; there is poetry with music or an inspirational
poetry trip to China.
We have workshops on self discovery, to lock into imaginations that have become sleepy due to lack of use, or to gain a fresh look at how we see what’s around us .
At the end of the day, you can share anything you’ve created in an Open Mic session and Jackie Juno will be hosting an evening Poetry Slam.
There will be live performances, poems written to order, plus a chance to see work bytalented KEVICC students.
We aim to celebrate, encourage and promote creative writing as a means of enhancing well being by communicating and sharing ideas with other people and to give an opportunity to develop, explore and practice writing in a variety of new and exciting ways.
Workshop places are selling fast so book your place in advance from

If the Lib Dems were so committed to stopping Brexit and particularly a no deal Brexit, why has Jo Swinson, leader of the Lib Dems dragged her feet and not actively supporting Jeremy Corbyn’s call to form an interim government? The Green party have shown their support. Labour and the Greens are playing collaborative, responsible politics. It’s time for the Lib Dems to step up, show some team spirit, putting needs of the party secondary to needs of the country and do the same!
Seems like Jo Swinson called it right Jeremy Corbyn just can’t get the numbers to support him. End of. If he were in anyway a statesman he would stand aside from this temporary role and get himself ready to fight a general election. Sadly he lacks vision and an ability to do the right thing.
