Rough Draft writers group
Dear Post Grad students and fellow writers,
I am currently seeking to engage a team of bloggers who will be able to contribute one or two postings each month about their experiences as writers and Post Grad students. We also welcome submissions to the following sections:
My Favourite Exercise
Writing exercises that have helped develop your writing skills. (When making a submission, please give a little background information, telling us where you first came across the exercise and how it has helped to improve your writing.)
Tips, Tricks and Techniques
Useful advice such as setting up a writing routine, getting inside the head of a character, creating intrigue in an opening paragraph, finding inspiration, or anything else you feel is worth sharing.
Recommended Reading
Have you just read a short story that you can’t stop thinking about? Is there a story you read as a child that still influences you in some way? Have you recently discovered a new writer or found new inspiration in a well-known classic? Pass the word! Share your love of the Short Story in 500 words or less and help us all to discover something new.
Words of Wisdom
These can be either your own writerly musings, or inspirational quotes from another writer (please reference, if possible).
If you are interested in contributing to any of these sections, submissions are now being accepted. The forum will be going live in September and blogging will commence at that time. Anyone interested in participating in the blog should contact me now for further details at LWESTRO1@chi.ac.uk. You can also find us on Facebook at Rough Draft.
We look forward to hearing from you.

My MA Project Production, I'd love to get your support - please spread the word and come and see it!xxx
Firehouse Creative Productions, in association with The New Diorama Theatre and with support from The Romanian Cultural Institute present the UK premiere of...
ELEVATOR
Two teenagers. A jammed lift. No mobile signal.
4 - 22 May
‘Listen. Listen…days ago, I had this idea. I just couldn’t make it clear in my mind. But now I can.’
Inspired by a true story, Gabriel Pintilei’s moving two-hander explores human dynamics in an extreme environment as it follows two youngsters’ journey through one of life’s worst nightmares. Spurred on by a sense of romantic adventure, they find themselves trapped inside the lift of an abandoned building. As one failed attempt follows another, and jokes are wearing thin, how long before innocence, friendship and stamina collapse under the weight of their confined existence?
Best New Play at The Romanian Dramaturgy Festival 2007.
