Calling all Bolton Writers!

27 Oct 2011

The Octagon New Writing department, led by Associate Director Elizabeth Newman, is currently looking for new writers to take part in The Best of Bolton.

The Best of Bolton will give some of Bolton’s best local writers the chance to showcase their work and gain feedback. Elizabeth Newman will choose a selection of pieces that she will then direct, using professional actors, in an Octagon Studio performance on Friday 10 February 2012.

Open to the whole of Bolton, submissions can include poetry, prose or drama. Submissions MUST be limited to one A4 page and be accompanied by a short biography of the writer, no longer than 50 words.

The closing date for all entries is Tuesday 2 January 2012, no submissions will be accepted after this date. In the interests of the environment the Octagon encourages that all entries be sent by email where possible.
