Recommended Posts

Dulwich Books of West Dulwich are delighted to present two creative writing workshops, the first will look at getting started, and the second will focus on what to do when you?ve completed your novel.


CREATIVE WRITING WORKSHOP: THE HABIT WITH ANDREA MASON ? Thursday 30th October 7pm


In preparation for National Novel Writing Month in November, Literary Kitchen?s Andrea Mason will take you through the planning process for your month of writing, including scheduling, making a mood board, free writing through problems and planning the novel. We will also undertake some writing marathon techniques to get you going, and you?ll take away a favourite phrase to put above your writing desk to keep you going.


Literary Kitchen is a creative writing enterprise, which offers creative writing courses, events, consultancy, mentor and manuscript services.


CREATIVE WRITING WORKSHOP: WHAT NOW? WITH SOPHIE LAMBERT, LUCY RIDOUT & LOUISA JOYNER - Tuesday 2nd December 7.30pm


You?ve written your novel, or at least have 30,000 words, so what?s next? This workshop will give you all the ideas and tips to set you on the right road to getting your novel published.


By coming to the event you will:

? Gain an understanding on how agents receive books, what makes them look beyond the covering letter and work to get your book published.

? Gain an insight into the current trends in writing and get tips/ideas of how to get your book noticed.

? How you should prepare your novel to attract the eyes of an agent/publisher.

? Gain an understanding of the editorial process, what an editor does (and doesn?t do).

? How to prepare a script for the various editorial stages.

? What a publisher is looking for from a book.

? How do publishers spot a winner, do they always use an agent?


Louisa Joyner is Editorial Director for Fiction at Canongate.

Sophie Lambert is a Literary Agent at Conville and Walsh.

Lucy Ridout is an author, freelance book editor, and copy-editor.


These events will take place at Dulwich Books on Thursday 30th October and Tuesday 2nd December. Tickets are ?6 for each event or ?10 for both.

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
    • It's not really though, is it. It's practical.  At least we're allowed Christmas lights.
    • We are the only specialist floor insulation company on the market to focus on insulating from below – meaning almost zero mess, disruption or noise! Warmdwell is extremely proud to receive the highest reviews for our professionalism, reliability, commitment and the all-round ease of doing business with us: we draw our team from professional, creative, educated backgrounds to provide a friendly, problem-solving team with the deepest integrity. We take real care of your home and aim to leave it as spotless as possible. Please check our Google Reviews to speak for us: "We were really pleased with their quote, communication, and with having the job done perfectly with almost zero disruption. We think they left the space cleaner than when they arrived, and we are definitely already getting the effects of a warmer room" – Miriam & Abed, Sevenoaks, Oct 2025 "Laurence and his team were extremely polite & helpful, and the work was performed over just 2 days with minimal disruption. It was absolutely the most relaxed work I have ever had performed on the house!" – Alistair, Cambridge, July 2025 "Extremely friendly, polite and efficient" – Diane, Forest Hill, June 2025 We are always keen to chat through your floor insulation options and provide as much free advice as we can, as well as free quotes and surveys – so why not ask us today about what is possible to protect your floors from the cold ventilation air blowing underneath, keep your heat in and warm up your home? We use high-performance mineral wool slabs, never foam, for so many reasons: it is the ideal flexible material for the irregularities of old floors; is breathable, working with the way your floor has successfully performed for perhaps 100 years or more; can easily be removed to access pipes and cables; and is completely non-combustible. A local business based in Crystal Palace, we work extensively around Dulwich, Herne Hill, Forest Hill, Lewisham, Tooting, Balham and across the south East of England. Please ask us about your floor insulation options or for local project case studies today!
