I’ve been so preoccupied with The Shame of Innocence lately, I haven’t spent any time on this blog. I’ve also been busy preparing a workshop on crime writing, as part of Frome Writers’ Collective’s Frome Word literary festival, running from 5th to 7th September.

There is huge interest in writing in Frome – a town of some 28,000 souls.

The Collective has organised a series of events over three days, including script readings (in fancy dress!), a day of workshops at Frome Library, and a poetry slam at The Archangel.

Frome Word wraps up with storytelling workshops, and presentations of stories written ‘live’ in Cheap Street’s shops and coffee shops.

A pretty ambitious programme for a collective that launched only 3 months ago!
