This week at First Story......Do you like our 'Shelfie'?

NUSA writers met for their weekly session in the library, to discuss redrafting the pieces that they have already started work on, alongside writer in residence, Matt Black and shadow writer, Liz Newman.  The group were also joined by a professional poet called James, who has just completed his Masters in writing at Sheffield Hallam University.  James shared his experiences and explained that he is now about to start to work on his first poetry collection.  

The group then began to think about poetry and lyrics within music, following an exclusive preview of a hand penned song by Bethany Richards and Kayleigh Hempenstall (watch this space for more on this in the coming weeks) and the group started to consider performance poetry and its many forms. Students are ecstatic at having a 'First Story' area on the NUSA website and are eagerly scribbling in their creative journals to offer us further delightful pieces. Everyone is welcome to submit their creative writing or poetry, particularly if you would like to have it posted on the First Story area. Please send your work to Mrs Sarris at c.sarris@nusa.org.uk

Have a fantastic Half Term and don't forget to have a look at the competition page!  The holidays are a great time to set yourself a writing challenge!! Good luck!!
