  • The Literary Potlatch at Strood Library

    For an organization with no budget and not an awful lot of time between us, we were extremely proud to have run another event which far exceeded our expectations. An ancient Native American word, the purpose of a Potlatch was the re-distribution and reciprocity of wealth, with all invited to…

  • Medway Monday

    We’re thrilled to report a fab time had by all at the Potlatch on Saturday – photos, quotes and the truly excellent collective poems will all appear here in due course, but for now, here’s today’s Medway Monday linky:

  • Want some fun and games? Saturday is Potlatch Day!

    We held a brilliant, productive meeting on Monday morning – if you’re not coming to the Potlatch this Saturday, you’ll be missing out on a fast and furious bundle of fun! With games courtesy of Phil’s Writers Tool Kit, and the strangely addictive Speed Debating – “we need more time”…

  • Medway Monday

    It was Red Nose Day on Friday and our Town Crier braved the rain to read aloud wearing a penguin! Did you do something funny for money? More to the point, did you blog about it or take some photos? Then share the link – here’s today’s Mr Linky.

  • Medway Monday: Spring Writers’ Rendezvous

    Yes, apologies for the appearance of today’s linky rather late in the day! Our Phil has reminded us of another excuse to get together this week: “It does feel a bit strange writing this as the snow is falling past my study window – and having driven through a blizzard…

  • Medway Monday

    Would you look at that beautiful blue sky out there? I’m off out and will post a suitably local photo later. For now, though, here’s the linky for your good selves 🙂

  • Book jackets for books not written yet?

    A new challenge for you from ME4 Writers – an open collaborative project to work with writers and artists. Writers: if you have an idea for a book which you have not, and probably never will, write or finish, send them your title, the genre it is, and back cover blurb…

  • Medway Monday

    A smattering of snow over the weekend means some wintry creativity on the photo front, we hope! Here’s the Medway Monday linky for today 🙂

  • Medway Monday

    Here we are again! With lots to see and do over the weekend, i.e the Chinese New Year parade in Chatham, and the Hook Up event on LV21, I’m looking forward to seeing lots of lovely, colourful photos this week, so please share the linky and the love for Medway!…

  • Kent Creative Live Newsletter

    If you’re a lover of all things creative and cultural in Kent, this really is one newsletter you should sign up for. Based in Faversham, the lovely Helen and Nathalie of Kent Creative Live keep us all posted on the latest events, interesting jobs, exhibitions and much much more. Here…

  • Medway Monday

    That came around far too quickly! Here’s the linky again – a new one will be posted every week. We ended up with five the first time, spread the word and we’ll see how many more we can entice into our world. We thought it’d be nice to design a…

  • What will you bring to the table?

    The Rochester Literature Festival, in conjunction with Medway Libraries, is hosting a Literary Potlatch at Strood Library on March 23rd. An ancient Native American word, the purpose of a Potlatch was the re-distribution and reciprocity of wealth, with all invited to ‘bring something to the table’. The wealth, in this…
