August 1st. Literary Event in Cheltenham

Literary Event in Cheltenham on August 1st.

One of the great things about successful writers is their kindness and generosity to those of us who are still making our way.
In the years since Jane and I have been running The Place to Write, there have been many times when we wanted to approach a writer to tutor our retreats but hesitated.
Doubts assailed us.
They won't have time.
They won't want to be bothered.
And each and every time our lovely, best selling and famous authors proved us wrong.

So it was with our Literary Event.

It started with a conversation at our writing retreat in Port Isaac Cornwall this March, with one of the nicest and most helpful writers we have met; Chris Manby.
She suggested we organise an event when novice writers can meet up with 3 best selling authors. A place where they can chat about books, their path to success and pick up advice in informal and lovely surroundings.
And so Jane and I have organised an event at the Well Walk Tea Rooms in Cheltenham. A place so quaint and pretty it should be in pictures. And indeed it is.
The owner supplies film set dressing to the movie industry and amongst others has provided his expertise in Harry Potter films and Downton Abbey.
Add to that delicious food...

 and an unbelievably pretty interior...

We decided to do this event in support of Cancer Research UK and there will be a donation for every ticket sold. This is a small and intimate event and only a few places remain available.

Thank you in advance to Chris Manby, Lucy Dillon, and Fiona Walker who will be there on August 1st. We are so looking forward to it! If you are interested get in touch now.
