A Writer’s Confession
Recently, I decided to be a little more serious about my writing and revisited a story I thought was worth finishing and adapting into a radio play. Lockdown helped by isolating me and giving me plenty of time and a couple of friends agreed to read it through.
And it is at this point I need to make a confession... You see, I really believed I was an exception to everything I have been taught or read about the writing process.
Writer Annie Franklin talks about her experience asking for feedback. Read the full article here.
New Case Study
Lauren Malone. We’re delighted to share entrepreneur and business author Lauren Malone’s case study. Lauren’s debut business book, The Expecting Entrepreneur inspires expectant parents to grow their business whilst growing their baby. She shares her journey to publishing with SilverWood here.
