About:

hereford_writers

Herefordshire Writers is a multi-platform digital literary network to showcase Herefordshire born or based Authors, Poets, Writers, Publishers, Bloggers and Digital Content Makers.

As a Writer living in this county I wanted to find a way to connect with other people in this field. I couldn’t find a network in place so I started one. It just made so much sense as I feel our county is a literary treasure as we have wonderful annual events such as Hay Festival and Ledbury Poetry Festival on our doorstep. Plus, it would be a way to make friends and connections as writing is a such a solitary process and I’ve met some really lovely and talented people through this site. I feel HerefordshireWriters.co.uk is a unifying presence to embrace and highlight our literary roots. I’d been blogging for two years on NouveauBohemian.com so I have harnessed the self-taught skills I’d learned to design and run a website and poured it into a new site to serve the literary community of my hometown and its neighboring towns and villages.

HerefordshireWriters.co.uk is an online platform to showcase authors, poets, writers and digital content makers plus publishers that are born, based or connected to Herefordshire. Each month there is one new article with an interview of a featured writer. Be sure to check out this month’s feature on our Poet in Residence for 2015-2016 Adam Horovitz plus previous articles like the one about our Leominster based Screenwriter Elisaveta Abrahall adapting Wuthering Heights to the big screen!

The hopes of this project is to inform residents of our county of the creative literary folk we have, establish a digital footprint of our writers plus create a multi-layered pool of connectivity, inspiration and guidance for aspiring writers living here. We can only do this if you get on board and visit the site (plus tell friends, family and workmates!) Be sure to like its accompanying Facebook Page and follow us on Twitter!

Something is changing in Hereford… There is a blossoming and distinctive Bohemian scene being carved out that is attracting and nurturing artisanal tastes and creative minds and HerefordshireWriters.co.uk is your online curated guide of local literary talent: visit the site today!
