Student and alumni reading

A huge congratulations to our six students and alumni who shared their work at our spring reading last night at Kemptown Bookshop, Brighton. Maura Cowen, Tristan Garrick, Peter Allinson, Lisa Lintott (who performed with local author Ray Shell), Jilly Francis and Suzanne Hillen read from their works in progress and published work. It was particularly wonderful that three of our readers are in the first year of the course.

Big thanks to author and CWP tutor Hannah Vincent for hosting the evening and Kemptown Bookshop for providing the perfect, cosy backdrop on a brutal wintery evening.

Our next student and alumni readings are Thursday 20th March online;  Thursday 5th June at Kemptown Bookshop; and Thursday 26th June online. Booking link here.

If you’re a student or alumni of the programme and would like to read your work at one of these events, then please get in touch with Cathy Hayward – cathy@creativewritingprogramme.org.uk And if you’re interested in joining our degree-level creative writing programme in October 2025, we’ll be opening up bookings in April.
