Now Then - Word Life 54 and Oranges

 Hello!

 May's issue of Now Then Manchester is here, and I enjoyed curating the Word Life section. This month I chose the theme of "Friendship".

 My poem "Oranges" features, along with pieces from Kristi Rose, Hannah Downs, Glen Sorestad, Nasima Begum, Jake Ormrod, Karen Dennison, Paul Waring and Kersten Christianson.

 There are also listings for literary events and workshops around Manchester. If you live in the area perhaps you will find one you like, or something new to try.

 I hope you enjoy Issue 54.

Now Then - Word Life 49

 Hello!

 Issue 49 of Now Then Manchester is here. This month's Word Life section is a collaboration with Manchester Creative Writing Society: I interviewed the Society's Chair, Roma Havers, and curated work from members Shenez Khanum, Grigorii Timofeev and Chhavi Mahajan.

 There are also listings for upcoming literary events and workshops in Manchester from groups such as Young Identity, Bad Language, First Draft and The Real Story.

 I hope you enjoy the issue.
