I am planning to run a winter event, helping people to focus on their current project, sharing inspiration, helping each other to talk about aspects such as plotting and character development, and leaving some time for writing (or wandering in nature, if people prefer). This will be open to people working on picture books, graphic novels or fiction for anyone up to and including teens.
This will take place on either Saturday, 2nd March, or Sunday, 3rd March at the Rodmell Village Hall (Rodmell is located between Lewes and Newhaven on the south coast of England, ten miles east of Brighton), from 10 am until 4 pm.
If I get at least ten people I will charge £25 per person. My hope is that this will be a collegiate gathering to help people with their current project - which can be a picture book or longer fiction. We can follow it with a trip to our local pub.
If you are interested, please get in touch by emailing me on Laura[at]lauraatkins.com. I will confirm the date soon, and am currently polling members of my writing group and people who I mentor to find out which day suits the most people.
