LS13 Anthology: A New Generation of Leeds Writers, Leeds Big Bookend 2013
Description
The Leeds Big Bookend are searching for 20 of the best writers under 40 in Leeds
You must be aged 40 or under and have a Leeds postal code on the closing date of 18th May 2013.
Where is Leeds 25 years after Tony Harrison's V? Who are its new voices? Who is telling the stories and speaking the poetry of Leeds today?
LS13 is about uncovering a new generation of Leeds Writers. We want to uncover a snapshot of the writers at work in the city at the time of publication. The winners will be announced in June 2013 and be invited to perform at our anthology launch event as part of the Leeds Big Bookend 2013. A print version of the anthology will be published by Valley Press and an E-Book version will be published by the Arts Council supported Dead Ink Publications based in Leeds.
