In 2022, the Writer’s Workshop, a brilliant collective of writers and creatives in Sheffield who deliver an amazing programme of workshops and events for Sheffield writers, ran a ‘Summer of Submissions’. I should note the ‘s’ at the end of Submissions is very important to ensure the integrity of your search engine results… Anyway, the aim was to encourage people to use the summer to share their writing, putting it out for the world to see and, hopefully, enjoy.

The Writer’s Workshop were kind enough to feature my poem ‘A brad-paisley afternoon’, inspired by their weekly writing prompt ‘that summer’, on their blog this week. You can read it here: A Brad-Paisley Afternoon — The Writers Workshop and a little snippet below.
