The Writers' Guild, in association with Fiction Uncovered, presents Off the Shelf at Black's - featuring Lucinda Hawksley, 27 February 2012
To book a place, email moira@blacksclub.com or for more information janwoolf@hotmail.com
The day starts at 11:00am with coffee and ends at 4:00pm after lunch and an open-mic session, during which participants can read short extracts from their own work if they wish. All writers will read from previously published work as well as work in progress. An audience of up to 23 will then discuss the work and writing processes, chaired by Jan Woolf of the WGGB Books Committee. This is an opportunity for established authors to receive mature critical feedback and for the audience to get some guidance too. Cost for each day is £25. This includes coffee, two-course lunch, and all-day and evening membership of Black’s. You will also get automatic reference if you want club membership.
