Friday Features: This Much Children Know

09 April 2021 News, WriteOn Features

By Gail Aldwin As readers of fiction with child narrators, we are able to reinhabit the world of our younger selves. The world of a child is much smaller than the world adults experience, and this focus on the workings of everyday life can be very grounding. In my second novel, ...

Monday Moments: Easter 2021

05 April 2021 Monday Moments, News

Introduced By Holly King Happy Easter! Immediately (after images of chocolate and bunnies with baskets of pastel-coloured eggs), I thought back to this time last year. Write On!

02 April 2021 News, WriteOn Features

By Matt Wixey I've written three novels. The first, which started when I was 13, is unfinished. It's called Necropolis, which probably tells you all you need to know.

Friday Features: In Search Of A Genre

26 March 2021 News, WriteOn Features

By R J Gould I’d written my first novel! It took over four years to complete but, since I was working 'full-time' I didn’t agonise about this. Next, I did all the right things: gathering a list of suitable agents to approach, researching how to construct the perfect introductory letter and ...

24 March 2021 News, WriteOn Showcase

It’s a pleasure to be presenting Showcase again and this week I’m going to be sharing two pieces with a local flavour. One of the great positives working with Pen to Print over the last few years, is to know how many of the voices we share are local, telling ...
