Three year plan for literature in Northamptonshire
In 2007/8, I worked with literary consultant Steve Dearden, and in consultation with a cross section of Northamptonshire’s literary community, in order to develop a new three year plan for literature in the county. The plan identifies areas of need which I, as Literature Development Officer, will aim to address over the next three years. The plan is available in summary form: 3 year plan. I hope you find it as exciting and challenging as I do. Thanks to all who contributed to this process.
