I really shouldn’t be here–it’s sunny and warm up at the lake, and I just popped into town for a minute to buy the Fecklet some nappies and myself some hair bleach (priorities, darling)–but I have to post this for anyone who might be interested, from Cornerstones Literary Consultancy:
There are a few places left on our women’s commercial self-edit workshop 21-23 September at Charney Manor, Oxon, to be run by Julie Cohen. We only take about 15 authors and if you book by 21st July you’ll qualify for an early booking discount of £60. You’ll also be able to meet Broo Doherty from Wade & Doherty who will be coming for the agent talk. See below. Please email or call for a programme.
Telephone: 020 8968 0777

Wade & Doherty:
Broo Doherty has worked in publishing for the last twenty years. She has had a variety of different roles throughout the industry, having started as a production assistant at Victor Gollancz. She then moved to Hodder and Stoughton for a brief period, before joining Transworld as an editor for the Bantam Press imprint. Then she joined a literary agency as editorial director where she advised leading writers in the area of crime and women’s commercial fiction and learnt about agenting. Broo handles all genres, excluding children’s books, science fiction and fantasy, and horror, but particularly enjoys crime, commercial women’s fiction and selected non-fiction.
Thanks for the bon voyage wishes, and I’ll catch up with everyone soon!

Sounds like a fab course, Julie, but I’ll be out of the country then. But I’ll pass info on to non-romna writers I know.
