 It was one of the freshest ideas for a writing competition ever. Mass eavesdropping took place on July 1st 2010, all across the nation. Writing was submitted in response to overhears as weird and wonderful as ’Yes, we’re rabbit-sitting. They’re paying us in cushions and umbrellas’ and ‘four o’clock in the morning is the best time to do burglary.’ Now the best of those have been immortalized online and in an anthology, and a selection will be shared tonight. Expect laughter, sadness,a touch of madness and a redain from Bright Young Thing, Susie Wild.

Tickets: FREE

Writers' Retreat at Rhosygilwen Mansion, hosted by Brenda Squires, author of Landsker, and Glen Peters, author of Parthian's bestselling title Mrs D'Silva's Detective Instincts and the Shaitan of Calcutta.

Dr Richard Lewis Davies, playwright, novelist, and director of Parthian and the Library of Wales series, will provide 1:1 facilitation sessions for those attending.

The Retreat is designed for writers who are working on a current project and require the space and time to finish off their work.

The days will be devoted to working, whilst the evenings are for conversations, sharing experiences and thoughts with others.

Participants will arrive before noon on the 25th Oct and depart after lunch on the 29th Oct. Breakfast, a light lunch and supper will be provided. Each person will be accommodated in a room of their own. The price is £225 fully inclusive.

Rhosygilwen Mansion has a thriving arts programme and is set in 20 acres of gardens. Please apply in writing to Rhosyglen@gmail.com or log on to www.rhosygilwen.co.uk

This is a fascinating story for 9-12 year olds! It's not only an intriguing mystery with plenty of humour, it's a good way to learn some scientific facts too! Come and get a copy of your book signed here while trying out some of the experiments that makes 'IS' so great.

Bright Young Things

Parthian’s hunt for fresh blood resulted in the Bright Young Things; a
group of new, exciting writers all about to hit the literary scene.
Blogging, eBooks, eye-catching cover design, clever marketing; it is all
bringing writers closer to their readers, but is that what the readers
really want? Join Bright Young Things, Susie Wild, Tyler Keevil and James Smythe as they discuss what it means to have a debut literary work published in the 21st century.
