A huge privilege for @uniofeastanglia & @gloucesterwreck to be nominated for 'Research Project of the Year: Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences' at the Times Higher Education Awards 2024. We had a lovely time at the ceremony last night! Read more here:

@mhdksafa Yes

@Helen_Warner Hope the funding happens soon. Those breathers should help. Friday afternoon is a popular one. My son has def had enough by then! But he had three off a week at first. Family helped which was great and other parents were in the same boat. I used to see them at early pick up.

[Justine Mann @justinemann]

@Helen_Warner Could the nursery help if you have one?

[Justine Mann @justinemann]

@Helen_Warner The school my son went to made the younger kids have some half days each week for the first year. Difficult to manage w work. He stayed at nursery rather than going to preschool because it was only half days and I couldn’t flex work enough but that would have helped I think. 1/2

Not to be missed!

[Naomi Wood @NaomiWoodBooks]

I'm think of teaching a free 1hr short-story writing workshop - like a 101 of structure and shape (the hardest thing to do in the short form, imho). First, would you be interested? Second, pls RT! Probably early July.

@Locky_football @AHicksonLovence @bookhive @PenguinUKBooks It was such a great event @AHicksonLovence my 14yo an even bigger fan now! Off to school at @NDHSNorwich today to find out if you can come and speak to students there 😅
So glad you’re the voice behind the audio book. Your readings were 👌

[Justine Mann @justinemann]

Got my tickets and can’t wait for this. My 14 yo who loved ‘Your Show’ is even skipping his beloved football training to be there.

[Ashley Hickson-Lovence @AHicksonLovence]

👀 Can you spot a deepfake?

This speech never happened.

Dive into misinformation & conspiracy in 'In Event of Moon Disaster', in which Nixon reads out the speech drafted in case of moon landing catastrophe.

Now on until 4 Aug.

A fascinating dive into #TheFuture ⁦@UEALitFest⁩ ⁦@WritersCentre⁩ with ⁦@uniofeastanglia⁩ ⁦@uealdc⁩ alumna #NaomiAlderman. We are living through a third age of information chaos but will find a new rhythm & there are reasons to be hopeful!

[Justine Mann @justinemann]

What an incredible project to work on! Thank you to all involved for your contributions over the last 18 months and thank you to @MellonFdn for funding especially @michaeljgossett for initial encouragement.

ICYMI - on Wed 22 November we celebrated the archive launch of our four Poets in Residence: Gail McConnell, Anthony Vahni Capildeo, Jay Bernard and Joelle Taylor [1/7]

[Kate Birch 💙 @KateBirchIST]

I cannot emphasise how significant this project was - a new way of archiving work, a focus on unrepresented voices. Being on the Advisory Group for it was fascinating and informative. And I also got to reconnect with former IS&T Press poets Jay Bernard and @Gail_McConnell_

[Kate Birch 💙 @KateBirchIST]

... not to mention getting to know the other Uncollected poets @JTaylorTrash and Anthony Vahni Capildeo along with (Visiting Poetry Fellow) Will Harris, @jntod, @justinemann, @GeorginaColby @hughespeg, Rachel Foss and the rest of the Project Team and the Advisory Group.

[Justine Mann @justinemann]

Excited to be sharing details of this on #NationalPoetryDay2023 - marking the culmination of a @MellonFdn funded project. Hope you can come!

[UEA Archives @UEAArchives]

Join us on 22/11 to celebrate the launch of archives from four dazzling voices in contemporary poetry: Jay Bernard, Anthony Vahni Capildeo, Gail McConnell & Joelle Taylor. All will read & be in conversation with Will Harris. Register https://t.co/o5RTIlXNkr… #NationalPoetryDay
