Joseph Coelho at the Bridport Literary Festival (Thursday 07 November 10am)

Schools Event

In this interactive and fun session Joseph Coelho, children’s laureate 2022 – 24, and recent winner of the Carnegie Medal for Children’s Literature for his novel in verse, The Boy Lost in the Maze, will be talking about the processes of writing. He will invite local school children to join him in creating a range of different poems from silly similes to super sonnets. Joseph’s event uses poems from his Carnegie nominated poetry anthology Overheard In A Tower Block.

This is a special event for local school children but we warmly invite extra audience members, and especially home schoolers.
