Tamworth Literary Festival

 
 
How wonderful it was to have a Literary Festival in my home town.  It was a 'first' and greatly appreciated by all who attended, from near and far.  THANKS to Tina Williams and all the TamLitFest Committee for staging and manning this excellent event.  A series of workshops and talks were held in St George's Chapel, St Editha's Church, Tamworth, Staffordshire and stalls were available in Tamworth Library to meet authors and get signed copies of their books.
 

 
Helena Fairfax led 'How to Write a Great Romance' workshop
 
 
 Julia Ibbotson signing her books
 
 
Rosie Goodwin telling us about her journey to publication
 
 
J A Heron & S J Warner - two fun loving self-published authors
 
The workshops and talks provided inspiration, tips and how to write conflict in romantic story lines.  As lunch time was short I missed meeting Carol E Wyer, humour, romantic comedy writer; the Tamworth Writers Group members and many others.  Apologies for missing Gareth J Wood's workshop too.
 
I came away with handouts and new friends to add to other social media sites.  My notebook has pages of useful information and things to research.
 
Thank you once again TamLitFest - looking forward to future events.
