Spring beckons! We’ve lined-up a jam-packed programme of live events, courses, workshops, and development opportunities for writers and literary translators to see you through to sunnier days.
Whether you’re local to Norwich or joining us digitally from elsewhere, looking to attend alone or with friends and family, an established writer or a complete beginner, we’d love for you to get involved.
Miroslav Holub’s poem ‘The Door’ is a favourite of mine. In it, he writes:
‘Go and open the door.
Maybe outside there’s
a tree, or a wood,
a garden,
or a magic city.’
After months of cold and darkness, spring beckons. We invite you to open your front door and step over the threshold of ours, joining us for our spring programme at the National Centre for
Writing.
Inside, you’ll discover a treasure trove of events at our Literature House: Daniel Hahn lifting the lid on translating Shakespeare; Elizabeth Day exploring politics and privilege in her bestselling novel One of Us; and activity days marking the annual reopening of Dragon Hall, with family fun and Easter surprises.
Launches? We have several. For young, talented writers, the Young Norfolk Writing Prize is now open for entries. For adults, we’re delighted to launch the second volume of our online Writing Life 30-Day Challenge.
If you’re further afield, our website offers a universe of events, articles, podcasts and possibilities – so don’t be a stranger.
Reading and writing: a magic city. Be with us there!
Warmest wishes,
Peggy Hughes
CEO, National Centre for Writing
