Exploring connections between Norwich and other UNESCO Cities of Literature across the world
Exploring connections between Norwich and other UNESCO Cities of Literature across the world
The annual, 8-month Escalator talent development programme has supported early career writers in the East of England since 2004. Years of austerity and the Covid-19 crisis have made funding through traditional means increasingly difficult. This year we are asking for your help to help underrepresented writers from the region – and you can get a special All Shall Be Well print at the same time!
Discover Elif Shafak, Val McDermid and Jackie Kay’s selections of exciting women, LGBTQI+ and BAME writers working in the UK today
The International Literature Showcase’s guest curators are exploring the breadth of contemporary writing from the UK.
The showcase began with Elif Shafak’s selection of women writers at London Book Fair in March, continued in August with Val McDermid’s selection of LGBTQI+ writers and this month Jackie Kay revealed her selection of BAME writers at Cheltenham and Manchester Literature Festivals.
Our priority is the health and well-being of our audiences, our staff and the fantastic writers and translators we work with year-round.
