June Write Then Socialise - and Murderous Medway panels!

Hi everyone,

As above, June's Write Then Socialise will take place on the 22nd between 1-3pm.

It's slightly different again as I'm actually away that weekend, but Nucleus Arts has kindly offered us its Creative Cabin for the afternoon, as part of their Arts Fest. And of course, feel free to get their earlier / stay later to enjoy the rest of the festival, cafe and art gallery.

Nucleus is also calling out for poets and storytellers who might like an open mic slot - contact them direct to find out more, details are on the website.

We're thrilled to release the programme for Murderous Medway. Tickets will be available in due course, but for now, here are the panels:

10.30am-11.30am Location, Location, Location: Elly Griffiths, William Shaw and Lesley Thomson discuss the settings of their novels and how a place can become just as much a character as the heroes.

12.00-1.00pm Politically Thrilling: Henry Hemming, KH Irvine and Gareth Rubin capture the political zeitgeist of the last three years and how it’s informed their work. Chaired by Dr. Kate Bradley.

1.30pm-2.30pm Storybuilders: Guy Fraser-Sampson, Vicky Newham and Linda Regan ponder whether their writing processes make them an architect, an archaeologist or an alchemist.

2.30pm-3.30pm Late Lunch Break. Sightsee, have dinner (the cafe downstairs is open all day until 7pm) or use your ticket to look around the Huguenot Museum for the discounted price of just £1!

3.30pm-4.30pm Crime Seen: Crime screenwriters JC Wilsher, Isabelle Grey and Sally Griffiths shed light on how the likes of Midsomer Murders and Between the Lines come to life on the screen.

5-6pm Lines of Duty: Kent Police detective Lisa Cutts talks to former WPC Gina Kirkham and former police intelligence analyst Elizabeth Haynes on how much freedom they can allow artistic licence to override procedures when crafting their novels.

A exciting line-up, if I say so myself! More information on each author will appear on our blog and I'll email you the links when that's all done, along with the ticketing links.

All the best,

Jaye

The Rochester Literature Festival is a voluntary, community and non-profit making organisation run by writers for readers, writers and like minds.

We aim to bring writers, performers, musicians, directors, producers and film makers together, anyone, in fact, whose work has creative writing at its heart. We want to expand the horizons of the many diverse communities in Medway, and collaborate with like minded folk to do that.

Our aim is to prove that literature is for everyone and can bring a community together, to learn from each other and experience great multi-arts activities and entertainment together to aid community spirit and wellbeing.

We want to engage our audiences with a superb mix of traditional and innovative literary events, full of imagination and flair. And we believe passionately that were Medway a book, it would be an epic tale in a genre all its own!
