Ask An Agent weekend!! It’s finally here – just released – February 5th, 4 nts. Plus New Year treat / Christmas gift voucher; and just 3 spaces left in our Just Write retreat in January.
1. Big news this week, the lovely Megan Carroll from Watson Little literary agency will be enlightening everyone on how to get an agent interested enough to put you at the top of the slush pile, spending a whole day with our writer guests at the end of a very special Just Write (untutored) retreat in February.
Not only the usual benefits – own cosy room, writing desk, all meals and hot drinks and wine with supper, afternoon tea and cake, mini gym, no chores, beautiful North Devon Location in 1600 Thatched House… and like-minded company – but the chance to have a whole day and or one-to-one, with one of the top upcoming agents of the industry.
Those who expressed an interest are already given priority. Those who reply quickly to this email to express an interest will also be sent the information you need to book your place on this once a year rare opportunity retreat for you.
Email now.:-)

Lucy has just finished script editing a project for Screen Australia about the Stolen Generation, where the Australian government separated Aboriginal children from their parents and made them live with white families. It’s ‘Rabbit Proof Fence’ meets Denis Vileneuve’s ‘Prisoners’ in tone. She’s also been writing a new novel herself and working with her 1:1 clients, including screenwriters and novelists. Finally, she’s launched a special offer, ‘The Bestseller Bundle’ where she puts her own novel writing under the microscope and how to utilise screenwriting tricks like ‘the hook’ to get agents and publishers interested. >> https://bang2write.teachable.com/p/bestseller-bundle
Have had several enquiries about vouchers – would you like one? Just contact me and we can do something bespoke for you! What a great Christmas present idea for you or a loved one! Who needs to get away? Who deserves a break? Who’s always wanted to write a novel and get it finished?
