Over the years I’ve run many workshops for writers centres, libraries, festivals and schools.
Here are some writing craft related posts on the ROR site. ROR is my writing group – see blog. Thanks to them I stay sane. We meet every year or so to critique each other’s WIPs (Work In Progress). (If there are any topics you’d like us to cover, drop by the ROR blog and leave a request).
