Jura Malt Whisky New Writer Retreat
For the first time this year, Scottish Book Trust is offering a new unpublished author the chance to spend the whole of October on the Isle of Jura (the island to which George Orwell retreated to find the seclusion he needed to write 1984) to concentrate on their writing.
The Jura Malt Whisky New Writer Retreat, in partnership with The Times, will give a new writer an exceptional opportunity to develop their writing away from the hustle and bustle of life. The successful applicant will receive:
* A £2,500 bursary
* Exclusive use of the Jura distillery lodge for October 2008
* The option to bring family and/or friends for all or part of their stay in the lodge
* Use of a hire car
* Return travel costs within the UK
The project is open to prose and fiction writers who are not the sole author of a commercially published book, but they must have had a story published in an established magazine or anthology.
Please submit a story that does not exceed 3000 words, the application form and no more than 1000 words on why you wish to spend a month on Jura.
Click here for more information and to download a copy of the application form.
The deadline for applications is 9 June 2008.
The successful applicant will be contacted by the week commencing 28 July.
IOCT Salon (video): Manolis Kelaidis and the BlueBook, 1 November 2007
Manolis Kelaidis at the Institute of Creative Technologies (IOCT), De Montfort University, Leicester, UK on 1st November 2007. Supported by the Arts Council England.
Manolis is a designer and engineer who likes his books to be made of paper. His recent work looks into the future of the traditional book as an interface to access digital content. He is a lecturer at the Royal College of Art and a Fellow at Imperial College’s Tanaka Business School in London. His previous work ranges from designing art exhibitions for Sony to researching at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ETH Zurich.
The blueBook project makes printed pages digitally interactive by embedding circuits in each page printing text with conductive ink. When you touch a “linked” word on the page your finger completes a circuit, sending a signal to a processor in the back cover which communicates by Bluetooth with a nearby computer, bringing up information on the screen.
