The annual Writers’ Summer School is held in Swanwick, Derbyshire, a week just focussing on your writing skills and meeting established authors and publishers. www.swanwickwritersschool.org.uk

In August 2017, author Dr Jacqueline Jeynes presented 4 sessions on “Writing non-fiction – Write what you know!” so a chance to think about using your own knowledge and expertise to put a piece of writing together that could well lead to publication.

“You can read about what happens there, and how enthusiastic everyone is when they leave, on our Blog page/ www.silvertraveladvisor.com / and www.jackiepencoed.blogspot.com . I shall also put up some hand-out notes here so look out for those if you are considering trying out the non-fiction route.”
