He explained to the group how he had learnt to write following the ‘Three P’S’: Places, People and Problems and spoke to the young people about what writing meant to him.

Thanks so much Phil for sharing your invaluable experience. Look out for the next edition of Kids Rule, Rock and Do to see the work inspired by Phil from our budding journalists and writers.

The Black Chair

Phil Carradice has written 45 books and his new novel, The Black Chair, about the poet Hedd Wyn is probably the first significant piece of writing (albeit fiction) about Hedd Wyn in English. The title was short-listed for the 2010 Tir na n-Og Award.

 

 

If your children are interested in attending the Newsletter project, them you can find us every Tuesday evening from 5.30pm to 8.00pm at the Narnia Library, Goetre School.
