Our Speakers
THINGS THEY SAID.....
Loved the travel journal writing event... I just
want to give up work now and spend all day on the journal!! JS
We really enjoyed the travel journal talk – and I’m so excited about starting something off next week when we’re in Dorset. KM
Really enjoyed the workshop and look forward very much to others. JB
Just to say how much I enjoyed the day yesterday. It was well organised, absolutely packed with information and all speakers were enthusiastic, approachable and informative. It was also great to be fed so well. I feel really excited - through this event - to have discovered a completely new and exciting world.
Thank you again." Els
"First of all thanks so much for the event yesterday - it was excellent in every way, the venue, the friendly welcome, the speakers chosen, the lovely lunch... marvellous. The day was really inspiring too!"
"Just a quick note to thank you for a great day yesterday, it was both informative & inspiring. The lunch was delicious too.."
"Dear Alex and Jude,
I would like to thank you for such an enjoyable and informative day on Sunday at your bringing writers together event. It was so interesting to hear such a variety of writers speaking about different aspects of writing and all on the same day! I have been energised and inspired by the information they imparted. I look forward to attending future events particularly the session on journal writing." Julia
