We are delighted to announce the publication of The Hungry Writer by Lynne Rees. We have long been fans of Lynne’s blog, the hungry writer. This book is a simmered reduction of five years of the blog, with memories, stories, poems and personal recipes on the theme of food. There are also 365 Hungry Writing Prompts – to give you inspiration for your own hungry writing, every day of the year.
The life of a hungry writer is a life of craving, reflection and deep engagement, and The Hungry Writer captures all aspects of that rich way of being. The book tells multiple and interconnected stories: of sources of inspiration and a commitment to inspiring others; of sourcing food and the joy of feeding others; and of the three big themes: love and loss and home. And all told with a passion for words and writing, and a profoundly moving generosity of spirit.

The book is in full colour, and some samples pages are available on the book’s page, where it can be ordered for a very reasonable £13.50 plus p&p: The Hungry Writer. Buy it for yourself, buy it for your friends.
There are a number of events to launch the book in Kent and in Wales. These are listed on the Events page. Booking is required for some of these.
And we can let slip a secret – the Kent launch of The Hungry Writer, on 18 October, will have a very special guest, making his debut. Let’s just say, the Cultured Llama has been made flesh by Steve Allen, who previously worked with the Jim Henson workshop. It’s so top secret that we have not yet been allowed to take photos. Details of the Kent launch, Welshcakes and Wine, are here.
