We would like to invite you to join us for an event, showcasing the new written works by our selected new and emerging Gypsy, Roma and Traveller writers. The four authors will present their new works through the reading of excerpts and will outline their creative journeys during our exciting ‘Gypsy Writers’ project.
The Romani Cultural and Arts Company’s trailblazing new creative writing project ‘GypsyWriters’ kicked off in September 2023, and The Romani Cultural and Arts Company has gratefully received funding from the Books Council of Wales to develop this ground-breaking literary initiative which will generate new writing from Gypsy, Roma and Traveller writers currently living in Wales.
An extension to the Romani Cultural and Arts Company’s highly successful GypsyMaker programme, four emerging writers were selected and commissioned for a mentoring and writing development programme. All the writers are Gypsy, Roma or Traveller and have not previously published any written works. The selected emerging writers are:
Allison Hulmes
Daniel Turner
Ivan Horvath
Horvath Fabian
‘Gypsy Writers’ has been aiming to nourish the rich talent in Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities and bring exciting, marginalised voices to the attention of the publishing industry. Dr Dr Joanne Clement has been the mentor for the writers for the duration of the project.
