• Andrew Stuck has a fascination with writers who draw from place. It is probably something to do with the fact that as walkers, we are out carving our way through space and experiencing places, one step at a time. Andrew doesn’t count himself as a great writer so really appreciates those who can write a good story and engage with readers.
Keen to read more writing from such writers and create experiences on foot, to which others could be invited to discover that writing, as well as exploring places, Andrew created Walking: Between the Lines and ran performances and walkshops between 2018 and 2020. In addition, he wanted to generate discussion about the writer and their creative process too.
Walking with others, sharing stories from engaging writers, choosing to read the writing that we are reading too,“Walking: Between the Lines” became a Book Club on foot.
Part discovery of engaging writing, part discovery of place, and part discovery of the writer.
