Nicholas Corder
Axis Festival is pleased to welcome Stoke on Trent's very own writer in residence Nick Corder. You can see Nick perform at the Poetry Breakfast on Sunday 4rd May or attend his writing workshop at the City Library on 3rd May.
Nick Corder - After several false starts at other careers, he is now a professional writer, with a dozen published books and plays to his name, as well as being a feature-writer and columnist. He also teaches writing at the Open University and Manchester Metropolitan University and often works in prisons, the NHS and with community groups. He is currently writer-in-residence for Stoke-on-Trent Library Service and hopes that the workshops run as part of the residency will encourage budding writers to come out of the shadows. He has also been commissioned to write a book in which he hopes to capture the city as it is during his residency. Although more of a prose man than a poet, he’s prepared to be humiliated for the sake of a decent breakfast.
