12 noon Lucy Cavendish an
Miranda Glover - Writing as a Group.
Lucy and Miranda are behind The Contemporary Women Writers'
Club, six British-based writers, some established,
others emerging, who meet regularly around their kitchen tables
to discuss new ideas and approaches to fiction. Through Queenbee
Press they published The Leap
Year, the first collection of short stories from the group.
Join Lucy, Miranda and friends for an insight into their writing
world that will certainly inspire.
1.30pm Julia Churchill -
Writing for Children
So how difficult can it be to write for children? All parents
tell their children stories so it must be easy just to write them
down? In this workshop, leading agent Julia Churchill, author
Michael Ford, creator of popular Spartan warrior series, and
publisher explain its complexities, inspire you to get writing
and show how to get published. It could be the next Harry
Potter...
3pm Hannah Firmin - The Art of
Illustrating Books
Book covers are an art form in themselves and there is no more
talented exponent than Hannah Firmin, a graduate of the Chelsea
School of Art and the Royal College of Art who works as a
freelance illustrator and printmaker. In 2004 she won Best Book
Cover of the Year at the British Book Awards for her cover of
Alexander McCall Smith's book 'The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency'
and illustrated the covers for the rest of the ten-book
series.
