Bournemouth University’s first publishing press, Fresher, is being launched this week!
Fresher will offer students the opportunity to work on professional publishing projects (print and digital) and to provide a platform for new writing talent. The idea is to encourage and support creative writing in Dorset and further afield, so Fresher will be taking workshops into local schools and running an annual Fresher Writing Prize for previously unpublished authors, poets and scriptwriters – including a special prize for children.
The launch event on Tuesday April 8th at 7pm at Kino bar will also include the launch of Fresh, a collection of new writing by final year BA Communication & Media and BA English students. There will be readings from 7pm, and the evening will close with a band.
Please contact Emma Scattergood (escattergood@bournemouth.ac.uk) if interested.
