Nick Hornby’s Ministry of Stories
December 7th, 2010
Inspired by the example of Dave Eggars’ highly successful Pirate shop at 826 Valencia, San Francisco, Nick Hornby and friends have established The Ministry of Stories in Hackney North London.
The aim is to provide a safe, fun space where 8 – 18-year-olds can go to write stories, take part in workshops and word games, and receive one-to-one mentoring from adult writers who volunteer their time. The Ministry of Stories opened its doors in November with a lively programme of activities and events designed ‘to inspire [young people] to transform their lives through writing’. Visit the MoS website for more details.
The Ministry of Stories is at 159 Hoxton Street, London N1 6PJ. Opening times: Saturday and Sunday, 11am – 5pm.
