I thought my followers may be interested in seeing the latest Writers' Centre Norwich newsletter:
A new year is
filled with possibility, so we've packed our e-news full of opportunities
which will help you make 2014 a year to remember.
Take a look at our new series of creative
writing workshops, designed to help you advance with your
writing and led by authors we love (including Kerry Hudson, David
Morley, Todd Swift and Helen Mort). Book quickly because they're going
fast.
Planning a career change, or know someone who is? We're looking for a Programme Co-ordinator for our Reading
Adventures programme.
Read on for a new season of events, some wonderful writing in the shape of
our guest blogs and the chance to meet a dragon.
Oh, mustn't forget that workshop led by A.L. Kennedy...
