The first book to be published by the Bristol School of Writing has been launched.
Seventeen writers have had their work selected for publication in the 176-page anthology entitled Life and Death, although 60 writers have been involved so far with the Writing School
The book was launched at the Folk House, Park Street, on December 8 with readings and discussions with writers.
“Our first anthology includes short stories, memoir, reportage and poetry” said Justin Lyle, founding editor.
“Each piece of writing is followed by a brief appreciation, or literary analysis, exploring how the piece works and what it means, so the book functions as a learning resource for writers seeking to develop their craft.
“The collection is both a pleasure and a learning experience about the craft of writing. Every writer who submits their work also receives written feedback.
“Our aim is to make an exciting contribution to the literary and cultural life of the South West by creating publications and events for writers and readers to come together, on the page and in person.
“We are growing out network all the time, and would love to hear from writers” said Justin Lyle.
The Writing School is now inviting subdivisions for its second collection of articles on the theme of Fear. https://thebristolschoolofwriting.co.uk/submissions/
