So you want
to write…
Sean Hannigan is looking for all of you budding writers out there to get in
touch with him. A writers Seminar is being organised during the latter part
of the year where members will be invited to take up the pen and see what
they can do.
Y
ou may have seen over the last few months
several books being offered as prizes in various
competitions. Sean has been speaking to IPA members who are in fact published authors and are
willing to talk about the writing process from blank sheet to blank check so to speak.
Several IPA writers who may include Mark Thompson (Dust) William Matchett (Secret Victory) Colin Croft
(Dead Man Calling) and our very own editor Neil Hallam (Between Stone and a Hard Place) have offered to
help with the Seminar and assist all of you budding writers.
It is anticipated the Seminar will take the form of the guest author talking through their own experience of
writing, how to write, where to write, narrative style, characters, plot, factual writing, research for writing and
agents/publishing etc.
If you are interested, then please contact Sean on
