The mighty Dalston Writing Group will be back in action on Thurs 2 Feb 2023 at Dalston CLR James Library, 6.00 to 7.30pm.
For various reasons our meeting dates have been slightly peripatetic of late, so to make life easier, from now on the group will always meet on the first Thursday of each month.
As promised, our theme for this one will be 'new beginnings.' Interpret that in any way you like. It may just be a new piece of work you've been thinking about. As usual, there will be a selection of mysteriously random carefully-honed prompts so that no one has to stare for too long into the abyss that is an empty page.
In the meantime, here are some opportunities from our friends at Spread The Word.
The Bristol Short Story Prize is currently open until 6 April. The word count is 4,000, which means that as of 27 January, you only need to write 47.619 words every day to hit the target.
And if you're an author of commercial women's fiction, here's an early heads-up about an opportunity in July to pitch your novel idea to publishers Simon & Schuster.
