Welcome to Lumi!

Welcome to Lumi. To understand us a little bit better, let me give you an insight; our ideal afternoon would be spent in the sun, lounging with a good book and a cocktail (preferably a Martini) whilst George Michael serenades us from a lilo in the nearby pool… Which I imagine would be everyone’s ideal afternoon, right? The point we’re trying to get across is that we love reading, escaping from our everyday (yawn) lives and being transported to another realm or era, discovering new landscapes and settings, being introduced to people we would cross the street to avoid or who we would fall head over heels in love with. Occasionally we also dabble in writing too, whether it is hard-hitting journalism (unlikely), poetry, fiction, a review of our latest read or a chapter from our memoirs. So we decided to create a little corner of the internet entirely dedicated to this. Put simply, in primary school terms: reading and writing (but obviously for older people). We would love to build a collection of creative writing from a range of different authors across the West Midlands, covering different styles and genres. Or maybe you would like to post a review about a book you’ve just finished? This is also great, even an article about a writer/the book market/the impending digital publishing doom….We would love to see it.
