Join the discussion: RLF Collected Live panel events

RLF Fellows are used to discussing writing techniques with the students who make use of our writing services at universities across the UK – but over the past few months, we’ve been broadening out the conversation in libraries and community spaces in the West Midlands and North of England through the launch of our new RLF Collected Live panel events.

Writers including Marnie Riches, Joe Ward Munrow, Christy Ducker, Harry Man, Susan Elliot-Wright, Testament, Clare Fisher, Jonny Wright, Chris Simms and Carys Bray have been joined by audiences in Dudley, Morpeth, Sheffield and Halifax to discuss topics including how to get published, how they deal with rejection, and the places and stories that inspire their own writing.

With four RLF Collected Live panel events coming up in November and December, audiences in Liverpool and Birmingham will be able to hear our writers explore all this and more. Each event is built around a conversation topic inspired by the RLF’s extensive audio archive, and sees a panel of three or more writers discuss their own experiences and answer questions from the audience.

Upcoming events include:

Friday 7 November – Liverpool

Peter Kalu, Pauline Rowe and Zoë Howe will be at Liverpool Central Library from 6-7pm to talk about inspiration – what makes writers tick, and what can they do when the well runs dry?

Thursday 13 November – Selly Oak

Helen Kelly, Juliet Clare Bell and Leila Rasheed will be at the Grounded Cafe in Selly Oak, Birmingham from 11am-12pm to talk about how they get themselves motivated to write – and how they keep going.
