Know someone 11-16 living in Stoke? The aim in these free workshops is to write 100 words on The Places That Make Us. 100 stories will be chosen for publication in our anthology - published in 2026 to kick off the next 100 years of Stoke authorship #100Books#100Years @lisablowerwrite.bsky.social

I'm keeping a blog about my search for 100 Books in 100 years by Potteries born authors & to prompt folk to get Stoked About Writing. Anyone else remember the Man of Fire on Lewis's?
