Novelist Sarah Duncan and one of her entertaining books!
I work in a vibrant Lottery Funded Community Library here in Truro and so I get to do some great things and get paid too!!
A collection of Sarah's novels.
Sarah Duncan and agent Dorothy Lumley of The Dorian Literary Agency came together at the library to give us two great days full of advice and insight into writing ,pitching and publishing our work. They were amazing and everyone enjoyed the workshops.
I am trying to write my first novel and I am very lazy about it so this has kick started my enthusiasm and shown me how much I must improve and work if my dream of seeing my name on a front cover in Waterstones is to be realized Ho! Ho!
The workshop was brought to us by an exciting Agency here in the South West, follow the link to find out more about them.www.cypruswell.org
The standard of work that the writers brought with them for appraisal was very high and varied we all went away with renewed enthusiasm.

ReplyDeleteToo cool! I would love to go to something like that.
ReplyDeleteHi Angela. This sounds like a wonderful opportunity. Happy Writing!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteYes it was great.Sometimes you can feel exhausted after a course but this one gave me a real burst of energy.I think all those taking part were positive and supportive to eachother and that makes a big difference.If anyone would like to see some of the things we do at the library just google Truro Community Library facebook project.You need not be a member of facebook to do this and you can become a friend too!
ReplyDeleteIt must be very nice to get an opportunity to meet real writers.;))
ReplyDeleteAnd what a wonderful work you have, what can be better than being surrounded by books the whole day.;))
