Booktrust believes that you’re never too old to get creative. It has just launched a new project, which aims to encourage the over 60s to engage in reading and creative writing. Named Bookbite, it will see pensioners experience the positive affects that creative writing can offer for emotional health and wellbeing.It is also hoped that older people, who rarely or never read books to engage more in reading and writing for pleasure, will start using the internet to access additional resources where and when possible. Well-known authors, poets and well known faces including Andrew Motion, Pam Ayres, Val McDermid, Sherrie Hewson and Mihir Bose have all contributed stories, poems and support to the project.Whatever your age, attending a creative writing course can be a fantastic way to meet new people and develop vital skills. Whether its poetry, novels or prose you’re into, get those creative juices flowing today!
