Write On! Features: Writer & Publisher – A Symbiotic Relationship by Lynn Michell

05 April 2024 News, WriteOn Features

by Lynn Michell I’ve always written, but I haven’t always been at the helm of a women’s press. Far from it. That happened 18 years ago and by chance. Since that time, I've switched smoothly between writing and editing, one informing the other. How can you maul someone else’s prose if ...

29 March 2024 News, WriteOn Features

Write On! Features: Non-Fiction, This Is Your Time by Robert Nurden

22 March 2024 News, WriteOn Features

by Robert Nurden The less elevated role that non-fiction plays compared to the glitzy world of fiction can be detected straightaway in its lumbering prefix ‘non’. The type of writing in which facts are paramount is described in terms of what it is not. Hardly a good start! Biographers and historians like ...

by Millie Murray Everyone writes, or has written at some point in their lives. The most obvious place where writing experiences have occurred, is during one’s school years. This is regardless of one’s writing ability. I’m generalising, of course, but when people state, “I would like to be a writer,” they ...

Write On! Features: From Fact to Fiction – The Challenges of Writing Historical Fiction by Mark Butterworth

23 February 2024 News, WriteOn Features

by Mark Butterworth One of the most appealing and enduring literary genres is historical fiction. Readers enjoy the drama of stories that are set in a recognisable context, time and place, with dramatic characters who play out the events. But it is a truth, (almost) universally accepted, that there is a ...

Write On! Features: Episodic Writing by Emily Inkpen

09 February 2024 News, WriteOn Features

by Emily Inkpen Episodic writing has changed dramatically since the late noughties.
