Lots and lots of news, which I haven't had time to post. But for now, a bit of news about two nice friends of mine, who both happen to be very good writers.
Jamie Jauncey and Catherine MacPhail write for teenagers/ young adults and are doing an Avron course at Moniack Mhor in March. Knowing them both, the course is sure to be fantastic. (I'd love to go myself if I wasn't so busy, but if I was starting out thinking about or beginning to write for children and young readers, I'd have my name down like a shot. There are still places, so for anyone who would like to get writing in a wonderful setting with a couple of Scotland's best writers for young people, here are the details:
Award-winning teen novelist Cathy Macphail and James Jauncey are co-tutoring an Arvon Foundation course, Writing for Young Adults, at Moniack Mhor, March 31-April 5. If you are interested in coming, contact Moniack Mhor (01463 741675)
moniackmhor@arvonfoundation.org asap. Cathy and Jamie have a really cracking programme lined up....
