"When you toss your voice into a cave it will only mime your words back to you." This is just a quick snippet from the rehearsals for our RESONATE event that we performed last night. To say I am proud is an understatement. Our young writers completely nailed it last night at the most wonderful event which we will share with you in full very soon. We will be thanking the performers and volunteers separately soon but for now huge thanks to @alex.is.green @bridlitfestival @jtaylortrash @bridportarts @elliotmillson Bridport Town Council and @littlegreenpig_ for the inspiration. #thebankofdreamsandnightmares #resonate #creativewriting #spokenword

So ridiculously proud of all the young writers who took part in our latest anthology; Food Glorious Food. A collection of food inspired memories along with the recipes that fired the imagination. You can pick up a copy via our website from tomorrow, it really is a wonderful book.

We are so thrilled to have made our target on our Crowdfunder campaign.

It was a real treat to have @StephenMoss_TV join us today during our Beaminster school workshop and talk about what it is like to be a nature writer. Our young authors shared their stories and received amazing feedback and we can’t wait to publish our book in September. #creativewriting #fightforchildrenswrites

Check out our new addition to the team! A Royal 440 typewriter rescued from the dump by Liz Wyatt, beautifully restored by David Tizzard and new ribbon supplied by @charliefoxtrottypewriters. We couldn't be more grateful and can't wait for the children to start using it to create more wonderful stories. It looks like we may need a bigger boat. #typewriters #creativewriting #thebankofdreamsandnightmares #fightforchildrenswrites

This morning we met a BIG IMPORTANT SERIOUS LOOKING MAN! who specialises in "Intelligent Misbehaviour", (so not really that serious) and also happens to be one of the co founders and co creative directors at the advertising agency @creaturelondon. Our team of would be creatives pitched their ideas to Stu in a lively session and received some excellent feedback in return. We now have five amazing causes we are working on ideas for to raise awareness and hopefully make a real change. This is creative bravery at its finest and we are so proud of our team @SirJohnColfox

Young writers braved the rain to visit @mapperton & hear about their rewilding projects. What a treat to have @martinmaudsley join us & share his nature inspired folklore legends. SO. MUCH. INSPIRATION. Thank you @AvivaUK Save our Wild Isles Community Fund for making this possible!
