After 18 months as Newham Writer in Residence the time has come to seek pastures new... or better said, return to the old career and a matter of a couple of plays and a new movie script.
I've had a wonderful time in Newham, working with library staff and aspirant writers in a vibrant and rich borough brimming with tons of potential. Although I shall miss the day to day involvement, I will not totally disappear from the landscape and will occasionally be found loitering with intent, so to speak.
I want to take this opportunity to thank everybody I had grace to work with in the borough, be they a writer, library assistant or manager, the Over 60's men and women on the A Picture Paints a Thousand Words project, all those who took part in the Changing Face writing Competition and all the workshops and events over the last year.
I wish you all the best in the future.
Mark Norfolk
