19 June - Writers' Exchange

On a very hot, humid evening members brought in extracts from their writing projects to get feedback and support to help overcome plot problems. In a very productive meeting we considered the images created by different character names, the issues raised by the use of mobile phones as a plot device and how to write a synopsis for editors. We discussed the pacing of stories and the language and tone to use when writing for children. Several members were also able to share exciting news of interest from publishers.
