Press Release: Events
Write By The Sea

Posted at 9:10PM Friday 06 Aug 2010

Unleash your imagination and creativity by writing in a Bournemouth beach hut!

Writing in a Bournemouth beach hut might seem a strange occupation but bestselling author Martin Baum does exactly just that. On Saturday 23rd October from 3 – 5 p.m. in huts 2310, 2311 and 2312 Bournemouth West between Happylands Arcade and the West Cliff Lift, Martin will be the guest writer of this innovative event from the Bournemouth Literary Festival.

The beach hut is Martin's 'office by the sea' and the place where his first and second books: To be or Not To Be, Innit – a Yoof-Speak Guide to Shakespeare, and "Oi Mate, Gimme Some More!" a Yoof-Speak Guide to the Complete Novels of Charles Dickens, Innit were penned.

Martin say says, "I invite everyone to come along and experience an unrestricted and unorthodox approach to writing, because although the secret aspiration of any would-be writer is to escape to a desert island to write that elusive first book, they need to feel passionate and inspired. Whilst a Bournemouth beach-hut cannot in any way be confused with a hammock on a tropical island, it still offers tremendous creative possibilities for anyone and everyone wanting to unleash their creativity by being able to sit and observe the passing human traffic and natural surroundings."

'Write by the Sea' is sponsored by JobShop UK Recruitment Specialists and is an inclusive event for everyone – young and old. People suffering from writers block are especially welcome! So come along with your laptop, iPad or piece of paper and be inspired and unleash your imagination. It is a free event.

The Directors of Jobshop UK say, "we are happy to be involved in a local event where would be writers are encouraged to take that first step towards a new career in the unconventional ambience of a beach hut."

The festival runs from 22 - 28th October with events for all tastes. For more details, please visit: www.bournemouthliteraryfestival.co.uk or send an email to: info@bournemouthliteraryfestival.co.uk
