Liskeard Library

Writer in Residence – Peter McAllister

Peter’s writing blurs the boundary between novel and short story collection; it builds layers of characterisation through linked pieces that result in profound moments of self-realisation and/or dramatic action. He was shortlisted in the Hammond House International Literary Prize and the Ironclad Creative Awards in 2023. His short stories and poems have appeared online, in print journals and in numerous anthologies and his debut book is slated for publication in 2024.

Peter studied English Literature at The University of Cambridge and was awarded a Distinction for his MA in Creative Writing. He is the editor and co-founder of Inkfish Magazine and a committee member for the Penzance Literary Festival. With more than a decade of experience coaching creative professionals and students, Peter is proud to be helping Liskeard writers improve their skills in his role as our Inaugural Writer in Residence.

Real Immersive connects people with immersive technologies. From the ‘state-of-the-art’ 360 dome at the Market Hall in Plymouth, we produce immersive content, offer facilities, training, and opportunities, growing the creative tech community and increasing the use of tech for good.

Nature and Neighbourhoods help create better, greener neighborhoods, powered by the communities that live there – regenerating people and nature. Through our programmes and consultancy services, buildings, highstreets and neighbourhoods are transformed – solving problems, and creating opportunities.

Badge Nation is the home for organisations that want to make a positive difference using digital badges. Companies and education settings can reward digital badges to acknowledge skills development, which can be used on CVs to show people’s skill sets and experience.
