From Proust to Virginia Woolf to Karl Ove Knausgaard , some writers teeter on the thin grey line between fiction and memoir- or life writing, as Virginia Woolf called it. Many writers vigorously refute readings of their fiction as autobiography, but some invite it and clearly state that fictional autobiography is their territory. The successful Writer’s Reading group, which now meets at the Moseley Exchange, was set up to explore published fiction as models for writing. In the summer term ( starting April 29th) we will explore the territory between memoir, real events and fiction though our own writing, taking inspiration from :
Meeting fortnightly, we follow the discussions of the published works with readings from our own writing which they have inspired, whilst the group gives constructive feedback to their fellow writers.
The group is led by writer, teacher and Artistic Director of the Hearth Centre, Polly Wright. The Writers’ Reading group meets on Wednesdays from 7.30- 9.00 at the Moseley Exchange on: April 29, May 13/27, June 10/24, July 8/22 .

The idea is simple. We’re hosting a dinner around the world and we want to talk about: “INNOVATION AND YOUTH. A city with a 1000 ideas” how it is possible to be young and innovative in Birmingham
We’re inviting incredible entrepreneurs to share their work making it happen. Choose one to sit with over dinner – and instead of talking about problems, talk about ways to support each other, collaborate, and make the world a tiny bit better.
At the end of the dinner we’ll seal the night with a commitment: one small action we can take to move the world forward.
The Feast Worldwide is about connecting with each other over a simple meal and weighing into a global problem solving session.

It’s a movement to get full on good. Hope to see you there!
