On Saturday 22 May, I celebrated the 2nd anniversary of London Writing Workshops with the participants of The Writers’ Workout. We shared a carrot cake (decorated with two candles) and everyone sang! They were very good about my poor camera handling skills. Victoria took this picture of me blowing out the candles. A lovely group – as always!

I’m pleased to say that this lively and informative website is currently running a news item about the 2-year anniversary of London Writing Workshops.

Essential Writers offers heaps of practical information for those who write – whether for love or money – as well as a free author blog for subscribers, but what I like best are the reviews of writers’ websites (under the menu heading Resources/Websites). From glossy, highly commercial sites like David Almond’s to the more home-made efforts of sci-fi writer Ian Watson, it’s fascinating to see the different ways that writers choose to present themselves, and reviewer Judy Darley gives a clear-headed analysis. A site well worth book-marking. Here’s the link: Essential Writers

The London Writing Workshops website will be archived from now on, as part of the British Library’s UK Web Archive – a heroic project designed to capture ‘the rich diversity of lives and interests throughout the UK’ for future generations. The project has been running since 2004, and has archived  thousands of websites. Categories include Arts & Humanities, Business, Economy & Industry, Government, Law & Politics, Society & Culture. Anyone can nominate new sites for inclusion – click on this link to go to the archive.
