David Swann
Teaches creative writing at University College Chichester where he also runs the popular Tongues + Strings literary cabaret.
In 2003 his story 'The Last Days of Johnny North' came third in the Bridport Prize and his poem 'Bunker' was awarded first prize in the Pitshanger Open Poetry Competition. He has been published in numerous acclaimed anthologies and magazines.
Heather Taylor
A darkly comic, moving and unashamedly honest poet, Heather Taylor engages her audience with glimpses of a world coloured by the vast Canadian prairies of her home.
She tiptoes through tales of rednecks, vegans, and welfare moms as thoroughly as she moves through the stories of men and women that are often left unspoken. It is here that Heather creates snapshots of life that as full of love as they are of fear.
Heather Taylor studied music, acting and writing in western Canada where she first began performing with Mirror Theatre, a group that co-created and toured social theatre pieces for youth. After working on over 30 film and theatre productions both onstage and off, Heather began performing her own solo work in Vancouver and co-produced the multimedia showcase Skidrow Theatre with Silent Productions. Her writing has led her to claim a first place poetry prize with Speak Out and a top-ten position in the Praxis Screenwriting Competition with her full-length screenplay "Two Fists."
In January 2002, Heather pulled up stakes and moved to London, England. Since arriving in the UK, she has been a featured performer at Borders, Poetry Café with New Blood, Ladyfest Amsterdam, and at the Spitz with Writers on the Storm. She has also performed at Brave New Word, Backroom Vodka Bar, Backstage Lounge, Aromapoetry and Walking the Dog. Recently, Heather's work has been published in X-Magazine, Wolf and Unpublished as well as various college and youth papers.
When not working on her writing, Heather acts as a co-editor for the Veg Out section of youthone.com and has most recently been working as an intern for Sable Literary Magazine.
Ellen de Vries
Writes in English and Dutch. She returned to England in 2003 after having performed around the Netherlands and winning 3rd place in WriteNow, a national writing award.
Since then she has read on BBC SCR, ran the first Mouth Cabaret evening during Brighton Festival, and is now working on her first collection The Standing Work of Sheep.
