Welcome to the home of coastmoor internet publications and media. At coastmoor we are concerned with the art of creative writing, particularly in engaging with writers and enabling writers to communicate with a wider audience. |
|
Our home base is in Louth, Lincolnshire; physically that is where many of our events are centred, it is a beautiful part of the country, we truly believe that all writers would benefit from spending contemplative or creative time among the Lincolnshire Wolds, and along the Lincolnshire coastline. |
|
The internet phenomenon is a vast opportunity for creative writing. The world wide web is already changing the way writers develop and deliver their work. In the next decade significant developments will no doubt occur; the e book, and the technology for interacting with literature on line are both in their very early infancy. The streams for communication, and their artefacts will increase manifold, they will become more user friendly, and via these mechanisms writers will enjoy a very substantial readership. |
|
We have a variety of activities for writers to interact with and promote their work, further details are available on the individual web sites: |
