S-o-T Writers' Weekend

Three tutors (Emma Hardy, Nicholas Corder and Dinesh Allirajah) are leading a Writers' Weekend in November at the City Centre Library, Hanley. There will be around 12 workshops covering many aspects of writing -- short stories, research, sense of place, poetry, etc. The weekend costs just £20, which is excellent value for money.

The workshops are scheduled for the weekend 28/29 November.

You'll need an application form to register. Phone 01782 238455 for details

From the Romantic Novelists' Association's website: "Romantic fiction is the best selling, most widely read type of fiction, universally enjoyed because everyone knows something about love."

There are three degrees of membership, including probationary level for new writers. Visit the RNA website for further details, plus info on many favourite romance writers.

What's it like to be a writer?

How does a writer plan his or her day? What routines are followed? Pop over to Daily Routines to find out. The site also includes the daily routines for lots of other professions and people -- which may be useful if your writing includes such folk.
