I went down to a Writer's Workshop event in Sheffield last night (Ian Parks reading a selection of his poetry and being interviewed by Beverley). A thriving writing community in the middle of Sheffield with a real atmosphere and some great characters involved. A fab open mic afterwards too. Highly recommended!

Happy Birthday Beverley. What a huge tenacious effort and what a marvellous result. I’m not a member but do attend Hannah’s non fiction sessions on a Saturday which have made a huge difference to my life, gettin g me out of my isolation and crucially re galvanising my writing. Thank you!

I keep thinking about checking out the Writers Workshop and being unsure but I loved this piece so much that it feels like a kick in the bum to at least try and go to an event or something and see what it’s like. Your smile in that photo says so much too.

Ah. You definitely should! We're doing research at the moment about how to improve things so, on a separate note, I'd love to know what makes you unsure! You'd could send us some thoughts to workshopwrite@gmail.com. It's interesting to know how it appears to people who don't attend.

Amazing - even more complex, even more of a long and winding road to get to where you are. So glad to be a small part of it - you've been a huge part of my writing journey - reigniting my capacity for fiction and keeping me going through dark times. xxx
