Hello,


Just wanted to spread the word about this event, for anyone who might not have seen it on twitter/facebook...


This is a free event run by Penguin Random House UK on how to get published, particularly geared towards under-represented authors and illustrators. The website is here https://www.spreadtheword.org.uk/penguin-writenow-2018-is-live/ and here's the main blurb below...



On Saturday 8 September, in partnership with Spread the Word, Penguin Random House will be hosting a free workshop at its office in London for 50 writers about how to get their book published, with advice and insights from established authors, literary agents and other industry experts. The event will also give each attendee the unique opportunity to receive one-on-one feedback from a Penguin Random House editor on their manuscript.


WriteNow is Penguin Random House?s flagship campaign which aims to seek out, mentor and publish new and under-represented voices on the UK?s bookshelves. This includes writers and picture book illustrators from BAME (Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic) or LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer) communities, those who have a disability, or come from a socio-economically marginalised background.


Penguin Random House is calling for unpublished writers in fiction, non-fiction, and children?s/Young Adult genres, as well as illustrators of children?s picture books, who consider themselves under-represented in publishing to apply. 50 talented writers will be invited to attend the free workshop in London in September, with 10 illustrators invited to attend the Nottingham event. The application period is open until midnight on Monday 9 July (for writers) and midnight on Monday 23 July (for illustrators), with further information about how to apply available at www.write-now.live.

    • Hello Dulwich, just popping in to share a brilliant new resource for home and interior lovers. 🫶🏼 At Lynlea West Studio, we've just launched Bloom!  A beautifully curated way to access my interior sources.  It's like having your own designer's little black book - a new and affordable way to share what I know best, and help make those renovation shenanigans a whole lot easier!! WHAT IS BLOOM? It's what all my lovely Dulwich clients have been asking for - my inside interiors directory!  Bloom has been created from over 25 years in interior design - packed with hard-to-find sources, pricing brackets for every budget... and exclusive supplier discounts!!   Because yes we all love a discount! ✨ Snap up the launch offer here at  https://thisisbloomhome.com/  🌱 Do of course let me know if you have any questions - and enjoy! Lynlea  Lynlea West Studio      
    • I do not believe for one moment local businesses asked for more yellow lines and the removal of available parking for customers. This is part of the ‘creep’ of removing parking - ultimately to introduce paid for parking (which is their policy).
