For the latest episode of From the Old Brewery, I had a great chat with Dr. Helen Lynch of Aberdeen University. Helen is a short-story author and Director of the WORD Centre for Creative Writing. Along with a host of paid student committee members and intern staff, Helen manages the annual WayWORD cross-arts literary festival. I talk with her about the work of the centre, the festival, and the opportunities she has been able to create for students to get involved. Joining her is Bea Livesey-Stephens, the current WORD Centre intern and EDI officer for this year’s festival.
