WORDS AND WOMEN INVITED TO WYMONDHAM WORDS LITERARY FESTIVAL
Words and Women is bringing an exciting and eclectic range of writers, singer-songwriters and even some scripted magic to Wymondham’s Literary Festival, Wymondham Words on September 24th 2014.
Poet Andrea Holland, novelist Lynne Bryan and Charles Pick Fellow Megan Bradbury will read alongside Bethany Settle, writer in residence at The Undercroft in Norwich while young actress Laura Futter will read an extract from Ariel’s Tempest by Belona Greenwood. Talented, young singer songwriters, Matilda Pine (who has headlined at Jimmy’s Farm) will play alongside the original and moving songs of Phoebe Robinson.
‘It will be a great night of profound, moving, funny and very original texts from local writers and performers reflecting the enormous talent to be found in our region.’ said Belona Greenwood, co-organiser of Words and Women.
The event is hosted by Wymondham Library where there will be wine on offer and plenty of time to pick up a flyer promoting Words and Women’s second short prose competition offering a cash prize of £600 and publication in Words and Women: Two. This year, the anthology will include 20 shortlisted entries and four winning commissions from its Arts Council Funded project, ‘About.’
The anthology published in partnership with Unthank Books in Norwich will be launched on International Women’s Day, 8th March, 2015.
