The Obligatory Roundup for 2014

Yes, that time again, when we look back at the last 12 months and forward to another year.

I realise now that I have started that there is quite a lot to say – I have tried for once to be logical and tell it in bits – editing, publishing and the rest – so just sit back and go with me. Or alternatively  you can stop right here…

Members from Renegade Writers and Room in the Roof writers read out their work to an appreciative audience at the Gladstone Museum, Longton, yesterday (8 November). Ten readings in two hours, covering topics ranging from life in 19th century Staffordshire to modern day ghost tales by way of Sussex and the Great War.

Organised in conjunction with the Penkhull Press, which launched three new books:

It Was never Worthwhile by Jem Shaw & Malcolm Havard,
House of Shadow by Misha Herwin  and
Sussex Tales by Jan Edwards,

 

The audio-visual side was organised by Jem Shaw  and the event was MC’d by Peter Coleborn, who also took these photos.

Workshops and Cafes

Last week was a busy one and I am only just catching up on myself.

Firstly there was the Story Cafe at the Gladstone Pottery Museum , a combined event for Renegade Writers, Room in the Roof Writers and Newcastle Library Writers.

A rather spiffing evening with full piccies at the links above!

Events for Renegade Writers this week

Don’t forget the Renegade writers have two events this week at the Gladstone Pottery Museum.

Radio Stuff

Peter and I had a slot on Radio Stoke last week (still available  here http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01dm80t  until wednesday).

We were promoting the Story Cafe at the Gladstone Pottery Museum (Longton, Stoke-on-Trent) and I was asked to read out a section of story. A taster if you will.

Note to self – must read slower!
