Round-up on Greenacre Writers

Greenacre Writers has lots going on in September. Exactly a year since the occupation and liberation of Friern Barnet Library, there is to be a celebration and preview of a new book on the 5th September 2013 in the library at 7pm. Occupied and Opened - the story of Friern Barnet Library. The book edited by Rosie Canning, features the community voices and spirit that went into saving the library and will be published later in the year.

There is also a fabulous writing retreat in Oxfordshire from Friday September 6th to Sunday 8th. Take a break from the busy world and enjoy some countryside peace to get the words flowing. See here for details. Writers' Retreat

Refreshed from Oxfordshire,  Rosie Canning will be leading her second 6-part Start That Novel course from Monday 9th September. Details and online deposit payment here. Start That Novel

The Greenacre Writers 3rd Short Story Competition is underway with the closing date on 30th September - don't miss out. The top three winning stories receive cash prizes and publication in the third Greenacre Writers Anthology and the three runners up are also published. For rules and online entries see Short Story Competition

We are also planning for next year's Literary Festival, and an exciting new course for novelists - details to be announced.

Our two Finish That Novel groups and the Short Story critiquing groups continue to be busy with plans for  re-structuring the Memoir and Autobiography group.
