A helpful article from @markleslie.bsky.social: open.substack.com/pub/starkref... #WritingCommunity #booksky

Our dear friend and founder member of #womenwritersnet @valeriavescina.bsky.social is celebrating the release of the second edition of her debut novel #ThatSummerInPuglia on 2 April. Published by @breakthroughbook.bsky.social, do grab yourself a copy of this wonderful story.

I offer 3 types of #writingretreats in Switzerland’s spectacular Jungfrau Region to suit different writers and projects. You can choose between tutored, semi-tutored and untutored. To learn more and to book: valeriavescina.com/teaching/wri... #WritingCommunity #writing #books #booksky #writingtips

Still searching for last minute Christmas gifts? Here's a post from our very own @lizchampion.bsky.social on the books she gifted last year. A selection to suit all tastes (doesn't matter that it was last year because books never go out of fashion 😉) lizchampion.substack.com/p/books-i-gi...

From friend and @womenwritersnet.bsky.social colleague @nastasyaparker.bsky.social, another great read: a thought-provoking post about the #writing craft and much more. "It takes time to find a story’s heart, front door, and back door." #WritingCommunity

Looking for a #writingretreat? I’m holding three next year: in March, June and Sept. Holidays leave us with great memories. Retreats do that AND leave us with #writing skills for life. valeriavescina.com/teaching/wri... #WritingCommunity #writingworkshop #creativewriting #writingholiday
