Speakers Bridget Whelan and John O'Donoghue.

Writer in Residence at Brighton Unemployed Centre Families Project, Bridget Whelan edited Salt and Vinegar, the recently launched anthology of life writing by Centre users that made national headlines before it was printed. She also teaches writing the self and biographical writing at Goldsmiths College in London and is a creative writing tutor at City Lit, one of the UK’s largest centres for adult education. A prize winning short story writer, Bridget was awarded an Arts Council grant last year to complete her first novel.

John O’Donoghue was born in North London to Irish parents in the late 1950s. He is the author of Letter To Lord Rochester (2004) and The Beach Generation (2007). Brunch Poems will be published by Waterloo Press later this year. His memoir, Sectioned, was acquired at auction by John Murray and will be published in Spring 2009.
