Writers Anonymous|About Southend Book Fair 2009

In the third year of its incarnation Southend Book Fair is about more than just books.

This year Southend Book Fair is being sponsored by AuthorHouse, the leading player in the global publishing industry.

Writers Anonymous and South East Essex College are working together to make the 2009 Southend Book Fair the literary event of the calendar showing how words can work; whether it be for written fiction or fact, orated poetry, spoken ideas or themes, illustrated concepts or plays, or just words set to a musical back drop.

In essence Southend Book Fair is diving into all aspects of communication that have a basis in language.

South East Essex College have opened the doors to their theatre and atrium to promote a new cultural insight into the mysteries of language, to pull back the sheets on something everyone takes for granted and expose what it really means to communicate.

The theatre will be hosting events such as talks by writers and their experiences of the writing process, talks by a publisher about the publishing industry and how to get your works into the public domain. There are extracts from plays by local theatre groups and poetry readings.

And in the main atrium of the college will be the book fair, where you can meet and talk with writers and illustrators, discover the works they’ve completed and obtain limited signed copies of their books.

Above all, the book fair and every event in the theatre is free. So if you feel like dabbling in a poetry reading or understanding what it would be like to go to a play you can do this without ever having to dip into your pocket.

If the creativity expressed at the book fair grabs you and you feel you’d like to be a part of that, then South East Essex College are there to help with the many courses they provide in the evening and at weekends.

So come to Southend Book Fair 2009 and dip your toe into the creative world. There’s nothing to lose – it’s free. And you may find it ignites a spark you never knew you had.
