On Thursday 7th June 2018 the SWC will host a special event at Waterstones Sauchiehall Street for the publication of a new collection, “Growing and Dying”, edited by Linda Jaxson, who has brought together poems, essays and biographical writing to celebrate the work of Janet Paisley. The evening will include readings from Tom Leonard, Anne Donovan, the students from the Creative Writing Course at the University of Strathclyde, and more! Plus there will be music by Linda Jaxson and Ronnie Garrity too!
So, for this episode, we’re bringing to you Janet’s ‘In Process Masterclass’ from December 2016! Janet is a multi-award-winning poet, playwright, fiction, non-fiction, radio, television and screenwriter who also writes for children, earning herself a well-deserved place as one of Scotland’s most popular writers. She provided valuable tips and inspiring stories for all in attendance.
Crank up the volume and bring Janet’s wisdom directly to your ears!
