About this Event
BEFORE YOU BOOK: in order to extend this opportunity to as many people as possible, we need to limit bookings. You can only book one Working Lunch session with one of our nine writers. You cannot book sessions with more than one writer. Please choose very carefully when deciding which writer you want to meet!
is a month-long project led by writer Philip Holyman in partnership with University of Birmingham that will transform The Exchange into a hub for new writing which nurtures and celebrates the creativity of people across the region.
Nine professional writers — from poets and playwrights to essayists and graphic novelists — will be based on site across October 2024, producing brand-new work in full view and in real time.
Each weekday, we’re offering one-to-one appointments with our on-site writers for anyone who wants some friendly peer support along their own writing journey. Whether you’re battling with writer’s block, experimenting with new forms and styles, or figuring out how to approach agents and publishers, our team is on hand to encourage and empower you!
PLEASE NOTE: Working Lunch is just our name for this strand of the project — no actual lunch will be provided!
