From 30 May-2 June, Loughborough University master’s students are running a literary festival open to the Loughborough community, taking place on campus.
The festival is free and will involve several days of creative writing, readings and talks with award-winning and bestselling authors.
Each year Loughborough University students on the master’s courses in ‘Creative Writing and the Writing Industries’ and ‘Contemporary Literature and Culture’ undertake a module called ‘Writing in the Community’. During this module, students collectively plan, curate, promote, and hold a literary festival funded and supported by LU Arts.
Speakers at this year’s festival include Jasper Fforde, whose work blends a range of genres from fantasy and sci-fi to crime writing, Charly Cox, poet, artist and activist for gender equality and mental health, and Emily Hauser, author of historical fiction, classicist and speaker.
The schedule of events taking place is as follows:
30 May
31 May
1 June
2 June
