@LitUpMcr Please RT. Writers' workshop with local author Neil Campbell @neilcambers about getting your work published, Sat 5th May in central MCR. Suitable for poets, short story writers & novelists. https://t.co/KND8U90SZJ

@treebirds Not in any way how such courses are viewed in the US, where they're treated with much more respect. Can standardise writing if done badly, but more often allow a writer to develop expertise within their craft.

@HelenMort Do you think this is what he told the arresting officer?

[Bad Language @BadLanguageMcr]

Great to have @HelenMort headlining tonight. Check out @LitUpMcr for her own spoken word night.

[LitUpMcr @LitUpMcr]

SNOWED OFF! Tonight's Lit Up @chapter1uk has been bested by the beast. Or Emma, whichever one it is now. Anyway, we're cancelled for tonight - new date tbc. Sorry all!

[Helen Mort @HelenMort]

Thanks to the wonderful folk at @BadLanguageMcr for a great evening last night and to those who battled the snow to get there! Some fantastic poems on the open mic. Tonight's @LitUpMcr is unfortunately postponed because of transport issues - we'll be in touch with a new date soon

[Helen Mort @HelenMort]

Tonight, @BadLanguageMcr and tomorrow @LitUpMcr with @kimmoorepoet and @VerseMatters anthology launch. Then it’s Friday! https://t.co/iOKaChW8ec
