The lure of alcohol and an evening of strong writing from a long-list of great submissions meant that we were full to capacity. We had a strong response to the feedback forms. If you filled them out then thank you for doing so. These have been passed on to the writers.</div>

Our readers for the evening Rob Stevens, Federica Lugaresi, Tarquin Landseer, Alex Bailey-Dumetz, Kirsten McLaughlin, Narayani L. Guibarra and Rebecca Rouillard all come from the BA Creative Writing Course at Birkbeck. They gave readings of fiction and poetry that ranged from humorous speculative fiction to dark lyrical poetry. All the work was well recieved from the audience of friends, fellow students and supportive tutors.<br />

The Committee would like to thank all those who attended and read at the evening for making it work so well. We would also like to remind you that Narayani L. Guibarra and Ines Almeida are stepping down to focus on their third year studies. They have been absolutely pivotal to making this and past events a success. We would therefore like to take this opportunity to remind you that if you would like to take part in organising future Birkbeck Scribblers events then please contact us at:<br />

<br />
Benjamin’s first novel, The Bellwether Revivals, was published by Simon & Schuster (UK) and Viking Penguin (USA) in 2012. It has since been selected for Barnes & Noble’s Discover Great New Writers Program and longlisted for the Desmond Elliott Prize and the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain Awards. He is currently working on his next novel, to be published by Simon & Schuster in 2014.<br />
<br />
He is a tutor and first-year convenor for the BA Creative Writing, and also co-ordinates Birkbeck’s Certificate of Higher Education in Creative Writing.<br />
<br />
A former Commonwealth Scholar, he holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of British Columbia, Canada. During his tenure as fiction editor of Canadian literary journal, PRISM international, the publication was awarded the Writers’ Trust of Canada/McClelland & Stewart Journey Prize.<br />
<br />
Along with Benjamin we hope to see you there too. (See post below for further details.)<br />

Jersey, birthplace of salt water taffy, Dorothy Parker, Stephen Crane and the
electric guitar. Her first full-length collection,<i> Leaving Eden,</i> came

and produced by the wonderful Donut Press, <i>Frankie, Alfredo.</i> Liane
is the Head (although she prefers Heart, or Soul) of Poetry on the
Creative Writing Programme at Birkbeck and is at the moment looking forward to
taking part in the Strokestown International Poetry Festival in Ireland in May,
her poem “My Last Coyote” having made the shortlist in their competition. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">Thank You, Anthony </span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />

The introduction to each poem showed how important it is for us as aspiring writers to be in touch with our true selves. Your stories of kites, biscuit factories, your father and trips home to Trinidad were inspirational. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">We hope in future more readers at Scribblers will tell us about themselves because, as apprentice writers, we will only find a voice if we are honest about who we are. This requires taking some risk as we peel back the curtain to show our true persona and openly share the reality of our vision and our way of being in the world. Anthony, your readings did all of this, and signposted how future Scribblers events could be made more personal and informative for all participants. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">All of us at The Birkbeck Scribblers appreciate you sharing your evening with us. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />
