Beyond the Creative Writing Collective, our festival offered a smorgasbord of literary delights to boys of all forms. From riveting talks by renowned authors to intimate Literary Lunchtimes held in the cosy confines of our library, every aspect of the festival was designed to inspire and empower our boys in their literary pursuits. Global bestselling fantasy writer Lev Grossman, accomplished Princeton literature professor Sophie Gee, talented illustrator Matt Lin, and award-winning YA author JC Burke were among the guests who graced our festival, sharing their wisdom and experiences with our eager pupils. The Literary Lunchtimes, in particular, proved to be a highlight, providing a rare opportunity to seek personalised advice and guidance from these literary luminaries, sparking lively discussions and hopefully igniting new passions for writing.
Not content to limit the festivities to our pupils alone, we extended an invitation to parents to partake in their own writing workshop, expertly led by James Bradley himself. The workshop proved to be a joyful evening, as parents enthusiastically embraced the opportunity to explore their creative potential under the guidance of a seasoned writer.
