Uplifting experience speaking this week with @AndyFryers of @hayfestival & @climate_fiction prize founder Rose Goddard @BusinessGreen’s #NetZeroFestival. How we need imagination, story & main character energy to light paths through the Climate & Nature Crisis. Longlist 20/11!

Last year the Poetry Slam was such a success we had to do it again, so impressed were we by everyone who took part, and the fabulous audience who came along to listen. So, if you've written a poem and you'd like to share it, this is your moment.

Great piece on the new @climate_fiction prize from fellow judge @toritsui. Storytelling can move, engage & show us a way, give us agency & hope. The prize builds on those powerful literary climate novels that have gone before: what are your recommendations? I’ll start!🧵
When was the last time you read a novel that was as realistic about the climate crisis as it was inspiring? Read the @newscientist piece by @toritsui about why a new literary prize for @climate_fiction, supported by Climate Spring, will make a difference. newscientist.com/article/mg2…
