Welcome to 'Sôn am Sgwennu', a Welsh language resource from Dr Llion Pryderi Roberts, School of Welsh, Cardiff University, which presents a series of discussions about contemporary creative writing.
The resource includes:
Sôn am Sgwennu podcast - recordings of conversations with 4 experienced writers who focus on the practical process of writing and on aspects relevant to their work and to studying the field:
- Caryl Lewis
- Ifor ap Glyn
- Annes Glynn
- Llŷr Gwyn Lewis
The resource also includes a document for each recording which indicates the questions asked and which roughly indicates the relevant time codes for each question (so that it is possible to listen to the recording in its entirety or move from one question to another)
Sôn am Sgwennu Essays - 8 short essays which discuss aspects relevant to the process of creative writing and to studying the field:
- ‘Ysgrifennu Creadigol: Dechrau arni a datblygu syniad’, Llion Pryderi Roberts
- ‘Sgrifennu’, Elinor Wyn Reynolds
- ‘Cymeriadu’, Megan Angharad Hunter
- ‘Creu Cerdd’, Mari George
- ‘Perlau mân Llwyd Owen’
- ‘Annwyl Leo, Annwyl Iestyn: Proses gydweithredol cyfres Y Pump’, Iestyn Tyne a Leo Drayton
- ‘Sgwennu Nofel’, Marlyn Samuel
- ‘Ysgrifennu i Blant’, Casia Wiliam
This is primarily a resource for Higher Education students, but it can be relevant to AS and A level pupils, teachers, and anyone interested in creative writing.
Funding was awarded for this resource through the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol Small Grants scheme. I would like to thank the Coleg, all the authors for their willingness to participate in the project and my colleagues at Ysgol y Gymraeg, Cardiff University for their ready support.
