Stoke on Trent celebrates its centenary. Dr Lisa Blower has launched a project 100 books in 100 years to reStoke the local narrative. This poster is of Lou Minns a local born writer, and invites 11-16 year olds to book on to a free creative writing course. Dates: Hanley library 11/2/25 Stoke Library 19/2/25 Tunstall Library 20/2/25
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?
