March Business Blog
01st March 2023
Welcome to March’s business blog.
Well, what can I tell you about For The Love of Books this month?
Behind the scenes, I’ve been working on getting a new edition of an old but loved book back out there in the world. Second editions non-fiction books are tricky little blighters. You want to include new information, but at the same time existing text still earns its place. It’s a matter of what to include. Also, times are a-changing because what suited us a decade ago won’t suit our needs now. Fortunately, there is still plenty of excitement within its pages. More on this in the coming weeks and months.
This coming weekend Saturday 4th March from midday we see another online session of Writers of Essex (kindly supported by Society of Authors) with speaker Author Julia Stone. If you want to join in but are not a SoA member, you still can. I invite those who write for fun or write professionally, but you do need strong links to Essex, UK, or live/work here. If you’d like a Zoom link, please message me or email sarah@loveofbooks.co.uk
Lastly, I want to give a big thanks to Ruth Loten et al from Brightlingsea Literary Festival for inviting me to not only write the Foreword of the BrightWords Writing Group anthology, but also for inviting me to be one of the 4 speakers last weekend. Thank you to everyone who attended.
Until next month, I wish you many hours of productive writing.
