Burnley Literary Festival
Panocticon were privileged to kick off the Author's Stage on Saturday at Burnley Literary festival. Readings from our collection 'Lancashire Tales, Light and Dark' and a complete Flash Fiction Novel were well received, and we were happy to launch our short story competition. Details of the competition can be found below, on this blog.
Afterwards we enjoyed presentations by other writers, a workshop presented by playwright Jackie Hagan and some novel activities all connected with Creative Writing. The festival took place over three days, Friday to Sunday, and the range of events ensured that there was something for every inclination, if only sipping coffee in Rhode Island Cafe whilst surrounded with the work of local writers.
It was a splendid opportunity to meet other writers, and we made quite a few new friends. A writers' forum in That 0282 Place (in Burnley Library) looks like the start of something very special.
Although attendances at many events were disappointingly low, we enjoyed the festival immensely, and now look forward to next year's @BurnleyLitFest .
