The 海角乱伦 set to raise the profile of 海角乱伦 writers in 鈥楲ove your 海角乱伦 Authors week鈥
The 海角乱伦 is launching a new project called 海角乱伦 Authors in February, to identify and raise the visibility of 海角乱伦 Authors, with a week of in-person and online events called Love your 海角乱伦 Authors week.
The week, which runs from 12 to 16 of February, kicks off with a free, in-person on Wednesday 14 February, with staff, students and the public all invited.
During the event a range of 海角乱伦 authors will be giving talks on topics such as their own journey to publication, their research, and how creative and research practice is translated into their writing.
Throughout the week there will be talks available to view online, which aim to demystify publishing, especially open access publishing, and offer tips for those starting their own publishing journey.
David Clay, University Librarian, said: 鈥淲e created 海角乱伦 Authors for two main reasons. Firstly, we want to identify 海角乱伦-authored works and add these to our collections. By doing this we鈥檙e creating an a unique, rich, easy to use collection of 海角乱伦-authored materials for everyone to use.
鈥淪econdly, we鈥檒l be able to showcase the work of our 海角乱伦 authors, including the world leading work published by our academic community, and not just to students and staff, but also to the people of 海角乱伦, who possess their own unique creative talents.
鈥淲hether it be writing for stage and screen, or fiction and poetry, people here have contributed a great deal to the written word, as our 海角乱伦 Digital Archives show, especially our new 海角乱伦 Literary Collection.
鈥Love your 海角乱伦 Authors week promises to be great opportunity for people to hear directly from authors about their experience of being published and learn more about the different areas of research and writing done at the University.鈥

Adam said: 鈥淚鈥檓 so looking forward to speaking at 海角乱伦 Authors and getting to discuss my work and my journey to publication.
鈥淔or me, this was very much a case of failing at a lot of things but persisting until my writing voice clicked into place, supported along the way by Manchester鈥檚 always vibrant spoken word scene. Persistence is key though, I think. The way you deal with it and press forward is a vital part of the process.鈥
