🪄As promised on Monday, here's the link to the intro session to getting on top of plotting in your writing.

Our online 'Let's Talk About...' series are FREE to NWS members and give a flavour of what a full workshop will be on this topic, which gives us an opportunity to tailor the in-person session perfectly to what participants need.

We have worked with Heather of Ivatt Editorial Consultancy before, love her delivery style and her unique approach to writing and editing.

You can find out more, and book your place via the Eventbrite link below.

🪄Non-members are welcome too!

We love it when we spy an NWS members' book on the shelves at the local library.

Here's the jolly cover of 'Chris and the Sky Pirates' by Liam G. Martin out in the wild at Inspire Mansfield Central Library

Whose books are you thrilled to discover at the library..?
