During the 2010 Manchester Literature Festival, Rainy City Stories hosted a discussion at Cornerhouse entitled ‘Writing About Place’. Jenn Ashworth, Nicholas Royle (both Rainy City Stories contributors) and Clare Dudman explored the art and skill of writing about place in this panel discussion. Each author read a relevant excerpt, which was then followed by the discussion – you can listen to it below:
