The writers
Writers participating in the project are Iain Sinclair,
Billy Childish, Zara Carpenter, Aoife Mannix, Dave Wise,
Ros Barber and Courttia Newland.
The idea
An Ordnance Survey map of the Medway area is cut
into six squares. Blank notebooks are issued to the six
very individual, locally and nationally renowned writers.
The writers each visit a different part of Medway one
day in spring, to record the sights, sounds and spectacles
they come across. Expect vivid descriptions of things
seen, overheard conversations, chance meetings,
thoughts, reflections, doodles, notes about things
imagined, photos, found objects, maybe even a few little
drawings — all from a purely personal perspective.
The exhibition
The Medway Notebooks, along with any found objects
and related material, will be exhibited in The Brook
Theatre Gallery.
Free

The Medway Notebooks writers will gather to recount
their experiences out and about in Medways suburbs,
towns and countryside.There will be a panel presentation
with short readings and an opportunity to talk informally
with the writers about the experiences and observations.
A rare opportunity to understand how the creative cogs
of locally and nationally renowned authors work.
