There is the chance for writers, authors, song writers, play/film/radio/comedy script writers, poets and keen bookworms to contribute. There will be specially tailored sections for different age groups and plenty of opportunity for engaging in a creative community. Other web pages will include author tips & interviews, regular updates and the latest news including competitions. Each person can set up their own club membership that will enable them to have a profile page (including no confidential personal info) that amongst other things will detail what they've been writing, reading and commenting on.

Kernow Ink will have a professionally designed fun and interactive website. If you're really creative you may also like to come up with a one line slogan or strap line that could be used on publicity material. Please write to with any suggestions of what the festival could be called. So far the organisers are stuck: they have no name for the festival. There will be plenty of fun workshops, activities, performances, stalls and famous author visits. The North Cornwall Children's Literature Festival will be held on the 15/16/17 February 2010 (during half term). We hope to launch/promote Kernow Ink at the new North Cornwall Children's Literature Festival. At the Bodmin Bookworm we are busy preparing to launch a new countywide young person's writing and reading project called " Kernow Ink".
