Coming Soon.....

At the Bodmin Bookworm we are busy preparing to launch a new countywide young person's writing and reading project called "Kernow Ink". We hope to launch/promote Kernow Ink at the new North Cornwall Children's Literature Festival. But we need your help!!!

The North Cornwall Children's Literature Festival will be held on the 15/16/17 February 2010 (during half term). There will be plenty of fun workshops, activities, performances, stalls and famous author visits.

So far the organisers are stuck: they have no name for the festival. PLEASE HELP!!

Please write to bodminbookworm@aol.com with any suggestions of what the festival could be called. If you're really creative you may also like to come up with a one line slogan or strap line that could be used on publicity material.

A little about Kernow Ink:
Kernow Ink will have a professionally designed fun and interactive website. Each person can set up their own club membership that will enable them to have a profile page (including no confidential personal info) that amongst other things will detail what they've been writing, reading and commenting on. Other web pages will include author tips & interviews, regular updates and the latest news including competitions. There will be specially tailored sections for different age groups and plenty of opportunity for engaging in a creative community. There is the chance for writers, authors, song writers, play/film/radio/comedy script writers, poets and keen bookworms to contribute.

Over the next few months there we will be more calls for help with the literature festival and Kernow Ink. We'll be needing creative and enthusiastic people to help with things like testing the new website out. So please watch this space. If you're not already signed up to the bodminbookworm email newsletter please send us an email asking to be signed up. It is the best way to keep in touch with the latest news, opportunities and future competitions.

During the development of Kernow Ink the Bodmin Bookworm is still open to publish your writing on any subject. Just email your writing, along with your age, year and school to bodminbookworm@aol.com .
