Somerville writers are renowned all over the world and on Saturday 23 November we plan to celebrate – and perhaps stimulate – Somervillian creativity.
Alumni are invited to spend the day in the company of established and up-and-coming Somerville authors, and to meet others interested in reading and/or writing fiction.
There will be talks about recently published books, a discussion of how popular novelists go about their craft, and the opportunity to meet current MSt Creative Writing students to hear about their work. Lunch will be a less formal affair than usual (enabling plenty of book recommendations!) and a local bookshop will offer books by College authors for purchase. Finally, at the end of the other sessions, there will be smaller workshops for those who would like to write, and for those who would like to find out more about how publishers and literary agents work.
All sessions are, of course, offered with the generous support of our alumni body and current students.
If you have recently published a book and haven’t yet told College about it, please email Jackie Watson (jacqueline.watson@some.ox.ac.uk).
Timings, further details and information on how to book will appear here soon. In the meantime, please save the date.
