I am pleased to say that I have set a date for my first short story writing workshop. The workshop will look at writing for the increasingly tough and sadly shrinking women's magazine market. So if you've been writing for a while and want to find out more about this market, this workshop could be for you.
The workshop will take place on Saturday July 30 from 10.30am to 4pm. The venue is in Northamptonshire (full details, maps etc available on booking)and is in easy reach of public transport.
The cost will be £30 and this includes lunch/refreshments and the critique of one story (to be emailed to me prior to the course).
If you're interested in receiving full details and a booking form, please email me via my profile. If you can't manage this date but would be interested in future workshops, please also let me know.
In other news ...
The wonderful Kate Long is my guest on Bookersatz today.

That sounds very exciting, Helen. I'm sure it will be a very worthwhile course for anyone who attends - and great value, too.
How exciting, Helen! Best wishes for a successful day!
That sounds fantastic, Helen! Wishing you a fantastic day.
Hi Helen, good luck with the workshop. I write short stories for the Swedish women magazine which is also shrinking but they do need new material as four magazines run these type av short stories. I see you write for "Allas"! I´ve held a few workshops in the subject and run an online course

The Swedish women magazine market, that is.
Thanks everyone. I'm really looking forward to the course. I've got a few bookings already - but the more the merrier! (Within reason, obviously!)
I used to do workshops when I wrote short stories and I loved it. People were so enthusiastic, creative, funny and keen to learn.
Good luck. I hope you have a fantastic day!
I wish I lived in Northhampton - it sounds like a great day for a reasonable price.
Let me know if you ever do one in Birmingham!
Sally - it's possible I will do one in Birmingham in the future - so watch this space! Meanwhile ... it's only an hour on the train!
Good luck with it Helen! x
Not my genre/market but good luck, I hope it goes well.
