Not ‘What I Did On My Holiday’ – A Guide to Travel Writing by Peter and Felice Hardy.

This travel writing talk is for beginners without any professional writing experience, and also for writers wanting to know more about the subject. Felice and Peter get you started on the road to seeing your work in print or online – as a blog, or to submit for publication.

Frome Library / Tuesday July 9th / 5.45 – 7.15  /  £7.50

For the Love of Them with Dawn Gorman

After loss often comes regret about things not said or done. This poetry workshop will explore ‘collaborating’ with a departed loved one to help find connection, resolution, joy. You will bring and respond to two cherished objects/photographs  and be guided by Dawn Gorman’s gentle prompts, and her own experience of a similar ‘collaboration’.

Frome Library / Tuesday July 9th / 14.00 – 16.00 / £20

TELLING TALES

Following a hugely successful launch at The Merlin Theatre in March earlier this year, the Scriptwriters’ Group of Frome Writers’ Collective will be presenting a second evening of funny, intriguing and moving monologues and stories.

Archangel /Thursday 11th July /  10:00 – 15:30 / £5
