Talking the talks
In the spirit of sharing, a series of talks from various authors, journalists and bloggers will pass on their knowledge. Don't be selfish with it, now...
Copy Shop
Borrow a book from our lovers library, or bring your favourite tome, and feel the writers' words coming through your fingers. No better way to learn about rhythm, assonance, style and grammar than by letting go of your ego and taking a free lesson from literature's masters.

The Lovers' Library
We’re encouraging everyone who visits the Writers' Rooms to bring with them an old book that they have loved and learnt from. Property is theft (it steals from your soul) and by giving away your old books, and giving the gift of inspiration to others, we aim to prove that you should never judge a book by its cover but by the content of its characters.
At the end of Rooms', we will ceremonially burn the lot just to prove the point once and for all. Either that or donate them to the most edifying educationalist charity on the block, ‘Choose What You Read’. Definitely one of the two, though (probably that last one, actually).
Be My Valentine
Ettore Sottsass’ sublime 1969 Olivetti Valentine will be on hand and waiting for your words. This machine was designed with love in mind and as your fingers caress her keys we feel you’ll fall all the more deeply for that which has been written. Everything you create together will then be displayed for all to see; for true love is a proud love…
