• The Verb Manifesto

  Ian McMilllan has always loved the idea of Ìý‘the manifesto’, even when he was a little boy and they featured things like ‘No adults allowed in the den’ and ‘We demand endless crisps!’.

  Now he’s launching The Verb’s very own ‘Writing Manifesto’ – a list of six rules for writing inspired by a year of interviews with guests like Margaret Atwood, Simon Armitage, Gabriel Byrne, Claudia Rankine, Floella Benjamin, Greg James and Yanis Varoufakis, and with poets and writers at the very start of their careers.
