Getting Started As A Writer

If you long to write but are not sure how to start, here is a really useful seminar to set you off. The advice on offer will be hugely valuable and utterly practical. There will be a chance to think about why (or why not) you should start writing, how
long it will take, and how to set up practical strategies that both keep you at it and encourage others to support you. Alison Baverstock runs the MA course in publishing at Kingston University and is the author of the bestselling book Is there a book in you?
