Birmingham City University is sponsoring a special writing contest inspired by vegan author Benjamin Zephaniah.
This year’s theme is inspired by Benjamin Zephaniah’s poem ‘Nature Trail’, encouraging budding writers to submit poems about the environment, the spaces where they spend their time, the impact of nature on their everyday life, and the importance of looking after the planet.
There is no fee and the contest is open to writers of all ages (though you do need to be a UK writer).
John is co-author, with Midge Raymond, of the Tasmanian mystery Devils Island. He is also author of the novels The Tourist Trail and Where Oceans Hide Their Dead. Co-founder of Ashland Creek Press and editor of Writing for Animals (also now a writing program).
