Lancashire Writing Hub’s next monthly live lit event, Word Soup, is based around the theme of “words on screen”, and takes place on Tuesday 21^st September at The Continental, South Meadow Lane, Preston.

We’re looking for writers to perform on the topic of the big screen, exploring the magic and allure of the world of cinema. The night will feature live music and poetry adaptation on film from our partners Version Film Festival.

Featured writers performing on the night will be interviewed and profiled on the Lancashire Writing Hub website, with links to any books or films, and there are further opportunities for book reviews.

We also have a Word Soup book, the first publication of which featured previous invited performers, and we’re looking to print issue 2 in April / May next year and select performers at Word Soup over 2010 will be invited to send in contributions to our next publication at the end of the year. 

For Word Soup “words on screen”, we’ll ensure that invited writers are fed & watered and will be able to meet your fellow performers over a couple of free drinks and a light supper at 7.30pm before the event starts at 8pm. Travel expenses are covered for 3 invited performers, with 2 ‘home grown’ writers in support, and several open mic opportunities will of course always be in hot demand!  

Please email writing@theyeatculture for further information and to apply, including a sample of relevant writing or links to your work.
