So much for my good intentions last year – work took over again – but I’ve now changed things round and I’m determined to focus on creativity in 2019.
First quarter has been spent indie publishing my third nonfiction book on finance for school leaders…[Read more]

Good to hear interest is rising in hist fic – it seems to go with austerity I reckon!
Hi Alan – mine is Victorian so definitely historical.
I need to reconsider my opening, but due to work commitments I’m unlikely to achieve a rewrite of that in time for the submission. But I…[Read more]

Does anyone know anything about the agency please?

I have had no contact with any agencies so far – am tempted to indie publish as I do for my non-fiction – but I fancy dipping my toe in the…[Read more]

Listening to you speak was a perfect end to a very enjoyable Festival. Like Janette, knowing that you were giving the keynote was the number one reason I decided to go for the fourth time in a row, despite the JW changes.
You handled it brilliantly, with passion and clarity, and we could…[Read more]

It seems to create more intensity and immediacy. Then I keep the emotions when I revise it back to third person.
I discovered this effect in one of the exercises in the Self Editing course.

Of course you’ll be nervous but you’re with friends (just don’t be distracted if we are passing the tissues round to stem the emotions like proud parents!). My first FoW was 2015 and it’s only now that I feel my novel is anywhere near the finishing line!
So looking forward…[Read more]
