Hi everyone. Well true to my word I’m back during the first week of the month. At least I’ve managed to keep my promise this month.
Since I last updated my website things have been fairly quiet, by my standards, except for one wonderful occasion in which I am very proud to have participated.
On the 17 th February, the finalists of the New Writers UK Creative Writing Competition for Children were presented with a published compilation of their entries, entitled ‘Nottinghamshire Children Tell Tales Volume One’. This, the last part of the prize package of the 2009 competition, was published by AuthorHouse UK Ltd as their contribution to the competition. I am extremely grateful to them for sponsoring the competition in this way.
But, having now completed last year’s competition, I am currently finalising the details of this year’s competition launch which will be at Rufford Abbey Country Park, Nottinghamshire on Saturday, 12th June. Details of the competition will be on this website and www.newwritersuk.co.uk from 1 st April.
In addition, I am organising further events for New Writers UK. These will be at Radcliffe-on-Trent Library on 12 th March
Nottingham Central Library on 17 th April
Arnold Carnival on 19 th and 20 th June
If you are in the area on any of these days, please do come and introduce yourself.
‘Avaroc’s Return’ is progressing, although slowly at the moment. It is still my aim to have it ready for launch at our October festival but, at this stage, I am not going to make any promises – just in case. Hopefully, if it is not ready by October, then it should be by Christmas.
If you have any questions about any of my books, characters, New Writers UK or would just like to contact me about anything, I would love to hear from you.
Best wishes
Julie
