Middlesex University’s School of Arts and Education, Trent Park, north London, plays host to some of the UK’s brightest creative writers this autumn at the ‘Writer for Lunch’ programme. Each week a different author talks about being a writer and about how they prefer to work - events take place on Wednesdays, from 12.30-1.30pm.
On 28 October the topic is close to home - scriptwriter and director Adam Ganz talks about how Trent Park was used as a Prisoner of War camp during the 2nd World War. Adam’s radio play Listening to the Generals, was broadcast on Radio 4 last year.
Poet Laura Dockrill, a recent Middlesex graduate, will speak on 11 November. Laura’s poetry collections include Mistakes in the Background and Ugly Shy Girl.
18 November sees former Wall Street Journal staff writer Andrew Blackman talk about his prize-winning novel On the Holloway Road – a modern-day British take on Jack Kerouac’s famous road novel On the Road.
Hilary Davies, poet and poetry reviewer, will talk about her work on 25 November. Hilary’s collections include Imperium and In a Valley of This Restless Mind.
On 2 December, author Carol Gould contrasts the different disciplines she used when writing Spitfire Girl, a wartime novel and her non-fiction book Don’t Tread on Me, which explores anti-Americanism abroad.
Novelist and feature writer Sophie King has worked on Woman’s Own, the Daily Telegraph,
And Parents magazine. Sophie’s work includes The School Run and Mums@Home. She rounds off the autumn programme on 9 December.
