Best-selling poet and playwright Lemn Sissay will perform alongside special guest author Michelle Green and the winners of the 2016 Creative Future Literary Awards.
Highlighting the quality and skill of diverse writers from across the UK, Creative Future will showcase the work of talented marginalised writers at this special celebration. Hosted by Lemn Sissay, the event will feature readings from this year’s twelve finalists as well as a reading from critically acclaimed guest author Michelle Green (author of Jebel Marra).

Prizes are awarded for both poetry and short fiction. Prizes include £1000 in cash as well as professional and artistic development support from leading organisations such as The Literary Consultancy and New Writing South.
