WRITING BOOK REVIEWS 

Are you serious about writing good book reviews? 

Cultureword, in partnership with Sable LitMag holds a workshop for you to
get 
into the nitty gritty approach to book reviewing. If you are a lover of the

'broadsheet approach' , then this workshop is not for you - we believe 
that the author, not the reviewer is the astar of the booka. 

Workshop participants will have the opportunity to write and rewrite
reviews, 
receive critical feedback, (yes, a good review needs critiquing, too!) and
to 
read and discuss a selection of professional reviews. Participants will
learn 
how to precis plots select relevant passages for quotation; identify key 
devices and symbols, and how to relate these devices to the political aims
of the 
novel. 

Participants will be asked to contribute a review to Sable LitMag. 

Tutor:Rajeev Balasubramanyam a Rajeev Balasubramanyam is the award
winning 
novelist of In Beautiful Disguises. He is currently working on his second
novel a 
The Dreamer,a and on a collection of short stories, aThe Storya
(working 
title). He splits his time between London and Berlin. Rajeev is the senior 
contributor for features and fiction reviews for Sable.

BITCH LIT: THE ANTHOLOGY 

Crocus Books plan to publish an anthology of short stories by women 
from Northern England. We are looking for stories that feature women 
anti-heroes: women who refuse to be victims, who defy society's 
expectations, who put their own needs first and don't feel guilty. They 
can be sinful, amoral or just plain evil. 

There are many fine examples of women anti-heroes to be found in 
history and literature: Jezebel, Lady Macbeth, Medea, The Wife of Bath, 
Imelda Marcos, Phoolan Devi, Cruella De Ville, Scarlet O'Hara, 
Thackeray's Becky Sharp, Weldon's She Devil and all those other divas 
and bunny boilers. We want you to get in touch with your inner bitch, 
create your own bad girl persona and indulge in some vicarious 
wickedness. 

Stories can be in any genre but should be contemporary in voice and 
provide an original and refreshing antidote to Victim/Chick Lit. 

Editors include Mary Sharratt and Maya Chowdhry. Mary Sharratt has had 
two novels published: Summit Avenue (Coffee House Press) and The Real 
Minerva (Houghton Mifflin), plus many short stories included in 
literary journals. Maya Chowdhry is an award winning writer who has 
been produced and published widely. Her most recent work was a two 
minute film for the BBC, and she was a contributor to the Lammy 
Finalist - Telling Moments. 

We plan to publish the book in Summer 2006. All contributors will 
receive complimentary copies of the book and a small fee. 

Submission Guidelines 

. You can submit up to 3 stories (each between 1,000 and 5,000 words in 
length). 

. All stories must be your own original work and previously unpublished. 

. Do not send originals, make sure you keep copies of all work 
submitted. 

. Stories should be typed on A4 paper, double-spaced on one side only. 

. Please send an S.A.E if you would like your work returned. 

. You must live or work in Northern England to submit work for this 
collection. 

. The closing date for submissions is 30th April 2005. 

Please send your stories to: Bitch Lit, Commonword, 6 Mount Street, 
Manchester M2 5NF.

Bitch Lit the Workshop

This workshop will provide you with lots of ideas on how to create a 
story for a new publishing venture. Editors Mary Sharratt and Maya 
Chowdhry will help you to get in touch with your inner bitch, create 
your own bad girl persona and indulge in some vicarious wickedness. 

Crocus Books are inviting submissions for an anthology of short stories 
by women from Northern England. We are looking for stories that feature

BROKEN + BLUE 
A national search for new music drama 
BBC Radio 3 and BBC writersroom are looking for original, entertaining 
and diverse music dramas for radio. 

Radio 3's first writers' competition, Broken and Blue is an ambitious 
project for writers who would like to extend their body of work into 
this 
under-explored area. This is about rethinking the role of music and 
song in radio drama. Recent Radio 3 dramas The Loneliest Road by 
Gregory Whitehead [Sony Gold winner 2003] and The Don by Jeff Young are 
examples of plays that use music as an integral part of the narrative. 

The proposed dramas can be up to ninety minutes long. Please be as 
inventive as you like in the way you propose working with music. The 
script is key at this stage, and writers are invited to apply ... 
alone, without an original score, in which case Radio 3 will find them 
the 
right composer, with a composer, or using existing music in a creative 
and interesting way. 
The winner[s] will receive a full BBC commission and their play will be 
broadcast on Radio 3 in August 2005. 

To apply, please send a two page proposal for your drama, together with 
the opening ten-fifteen minutes fully scripted, your CV and a covering 
letter with your contact details to BROKEN AND BLUE, BBC WRITERSROOM, 1 
MORTIMER ST , LONDON W1T 3JA . 

Deadline 1 December 2004 . Judges: opera and theatre director Phyllida 
Lloyd , actor and writer Lennie James , Head of Speech Programmes, 
Radio 3, Abigail Appleton and the BBC's Creative Director of New 
Writing, Kate Rowland.

THE WRITERS POOL 
The Writers Pool is seeking applications from promising writers of any 
age for Menteeships on this scheme. 
The Writers Pool was run very successfully as a pilot scheme in London, 
East Anglia and the South East. It has been so successful that it has 
now been extended and developed regionally. They are now seeking 12 
(twelve) new writers interested in being mentored by an experienced 
author and wondered if you could put forward any names? They can be 
women and men of any age writing in genres that include novels, short 
stories, biography, memoir, autobiography, drama, screen or TV writing, 
radio writing, poetry, or creative non-fiction. 
The input of an experienced, established author for ten one- to- one 
supervision-meetings over a year? 
Mentors are recent Royal Literary Fund Writing Fellows, which means 
they have a track record in one- to- one tuition and the RLF stamp of 
literary merit. 
Once an applicant wins one of the twelve menteeships , the cost to them 
is nothing. New writer/mentees will be expected to cover their own 
travel 
costs to meet their mentor but the generous fee to the mentor is paid 
for by the Royal Literary Fund . 
We need writers who are serious and committed, who are working on or 
are beginning a full-length novel, biography, play, script or 
collection of poetry. 
New writers can be at any level of experience as long as they feel they 
would benefit from one-to-one feedback and can definitely commit to 
meeting their mentor over the next year, for ten sessions. It is also 
important that their work has potential so I would ask that you only 
put forward names of those people whose writing you feel you could 
endorse. As this is a highly competitive scheme, the mentorship on 
offer is in effect a prize or bursary, and entrants should be 
encouraged to view gaining a Writers Pool Menteeship in this light. 

Entry to the scheme is simple. Applicants should submit two copies of 
any of the following depending on the genre they wish to work in: 
a) Novelists: three chapters of a novel, 
b) Short story writers: two short stories suitable for print 
c) Radio writers: two short stories suitable for radio or two scenes 
from a 
proposed radio play. 
d) Poets: ten poems, 
e) Biographers or Memoirists: a detailed proposal and two sample 
chapters 
f) Other non-fiction: a synopsis and two chapters of non-fiction work 
g) Playwrights: a synopsis and two sample scenes 
h) Screen writers and TV writers: synopsis and two sample scenes. 

These applications must be accompanied by a covering letter. 
.Please note that two (2) copies of the work must be submitted. 
A stamped addressed envelope must be enclosed for acknowledgement. 
Work will NOT be returned. 
Applicants must not be engaged on an MA in Creative Writing or another 
similar high-level writing course during the proposed year of their 
menteeship. 
The deadline for applications is December 1st 2004. 
The address to send entries is: 
Sally Cline 
PO Box 72 
Cambridge 
CB42WY 
The email address for any queries is: [log in to unmask] 
Since we have appointed mentors in London, East Anglia, Oxfordshire, 
Herts, Bath, Bristol, Sussex and the South East, Newcastle on Tyne, 
Durham and the North East, mentees are being sought primarily from 
these areas.

PERSPECTIVES ON IDENTITIES: A PANEL AND GROUP DISCUSSION WITH EKOW ESHUN

18th November
7.00pm
FREE
Khalili Lecture Theatre
School of Oriental and African Studies
Thornhaugh Street
Russell Square
London WC!H


An evening of readings, discussion and talk from Ekow Eshun on perspectives
and experiences on identity and cultural diversity. Followed by a reception


When Ekow Eshun leaves his home in London and sets out for Ghana, the home
of
his family, he hopes to find his roots. What he doesn't expect is to
unearth a buried family history reaching back seven generations - one that
will lead
him to question all he knows about himself and where he comes from.

As he travels from the cosmopolitan capital of Accra to the slave forts of
Elmina and the historic warrior kingdom of Asante, his journey intersects
with
other voyages across the same land by Maya Angelou, Malcolm X, W. E. B. Du
Bois, the novelist Richard Wright, John Konny 'the Negro prince of Prussia'
and
the millions of slaves shipped to the West from the Ghanaian
coast.

Along the way he charts his life in London, from growing up in the time of
the Black and White Minstrels and skinhead marches on Brick Lane to the
paradoxes and possibilities of modern Britain.

The result is a map of the emotional and historical connections between the
West and Africa. Moving from slavery to liberation, hip-hop to Hegel and
love
to loss, Ekow Eshun has crafted a life-affirming memoir of belonging,
identity
and hope.

Ekow Eshun was born in London in 1968 and grew up in England and Ghana. He
is a regular contributor to Newsnight Review and former editor of Arena. He
lives in London. Ekow Eshun will be reading and discussing elements of his
new
book, other panel members sharing similar experiences include:

Leslie Lee is a journalist from New York City, her MA Intl Journalism
thesis
on the British Chinese was a series of two articles on different aspects of
that community's experience in this country. She will be discussing the
Chinese-American diaspora and the great divide between the Chinese who grew
up under
Communist rule and their American-born counterparts.

Uchenna Izundu was born in Nigeria and spent her early childhood in
Scotland.
She has been writing stories from an early age. Uchenna is an energy
journalist, specialising in the news and analysis of international
geo-politics and
commercial developments of global gas projects. She is a board member of
Aspire,
a support organisation for black media professionals that aims to connect
potential black journalists with those already working within the industry.
Uchenna's work has been broadcast on the BBC World Service and has appeared
in The
Guardian, New Nation, Asian Times, African Times, darkerthanblue.com and
FT.com. Her creative writing has been published in Penguin's IC3 and Sable
Literary
magazine.

Kadija Sesay is a literary activist, editor and publisher, of Sierra
Leonean
descent . She is the founder/managing editor of a litmag called SABLE, and
she
has won several awards for her work in the creative arts. She is a George
Bell Fellow, General Secretary of African Writers Abroad (AWA) and a
Fellow of
the Vilar Institute of the JF Kennedy Center for Performing Arts. She is
currently editing two books Write Black, Write British, an anthology

Rajeev Balasubramanyam is  editing Tell Tales Volume 3. For anyone who

heard of the anthology, there's a website www.telltales.co.uk

It's an anthology of short-stories written to work on the page but also for

country. For 
this second anthology, the fee is 350 pounds, and readings pay 140-200. The
