What we are doing
We’re a small but mighty team working to bring books, creative events and experiences to Nottinghamshire, but in particular young people.
In our vibrant literary city, there’s a real hunger for live experiences. Talent is everywhere you look, especially from young talent. From our base at Nottingham Central Library, we’re here to feed that hunger and nurture that talent. From first-time writers to established novelists, we will:
- Support young people in all things literature
- Champion our literary city on a global stage
- Inspire more Nottingham residents to read, write and enjoy words
- Showcase future generations of writers
- Support ambitious writers in achieving their goals
- Build audiences for live events and experiences
- Attract literary tourism to Nottingham
- Partner with organisations who want to transform lives
