#Authors, #mediarequest, #writers Calling UK writers. Have you set up a UK financial Lasting Power of Attorney? I'm currently putting together an article about why writers should consider this and would love some input from those who've already gone through the process.

Looking forward to the Swadlincote Festival of Words tomorrow. If you're in the South Derbyshire area, check out the full programme here: there's lots to do (and not just my talk 😜): www.swadlincotefestivalofwords.co.uk/programme
