Glasgow Lockdown Lit Fest

 

Glasgow University announces a Literary Festival this month and I am thrilled that my call out for writers to the theme ‘Power Of One – stories from Lockdown’ is being featured.

Following a call for work on the Young Vic Genesis website-

Work was selected from over 50 applications to be programmed on this Saturday’s literary festival as following:

One great thing to pop out of Lockdown is the creativity that has reconfigured the internet to being a friend, not simply something that keeps us busy.

And I wonder too, if it will last when we get our freedom back! (I hope so).

Hear work from 10 writers from all corners of the globe (US, NZ, EU) sharing their reflections on lockdown.

If you have had enough of lockdown I promise the writing and the actors will transport you from head to toe! Original Event listing is >> here

But watch without delay below –

I hope the 10 pieces of writing enlighten or enliven the senses. More importantly I hope this lockdown is keeping you and your loved ones safe.
