The Cleckheaton Writers Group met last night where P, M and I were in attendance, D, P, M and A having passed on their apologies.
P and M had no WIP news, but I have been editing and have written a new scene for TPB as part of the CampNaNoWriMo challenge and have been editing some pieces for entry into competitions. P has been editing S's manuscript and has been enjoying the story.
As the meeting was only for an hour due to a fundraising gig for Cleckheaton Literature Festival 2016 by A Firm of Poets at the Library from 7pm, there was no time for a feedback session, but both sessions are available for the next meeting.
I informed the members that York and Harrogate Festivals are taking place at the moment and related competition information as follows:
