GREAT NEWS!
We have been awarded £450 from Norfolk County Council's Arts Project Fund to provide masterclasses and continuing support to our three groups of writing women!
This is marvellous news and means that after the anthology has been published and launched, the writing groups can continue to meet and run the blog with not only the generous support of Norfolk's Library Service but also Norfolk County Council's Arts Project Fund.
All our writers have been on a huge learning curve and have been challenged to produce more and more text. There is a heap of fantastic poetry on the table, as well as thoughts about country living. The writing is really coming to life. The groups are full of chat, laughter and new friendships.
It is wonderful to have the support of Norfolk County Council. Thank you.
