We are currently reading Supper Club by Lara Williams and it is brilliant! The descriptions of food certainly make for a very hungry read. Can not recommend it enough!

Our next writing retreat will be taking place at Templeton House in Berkshire, 14-17 May 2020. Join us for workshops, Q&As and evening readings with authors Kelleigh Greenberg-Jephcott and Alive Jolly and literary agent Nelle Andrew. Each writer will also have a one-on-one session with a BPA editor. ✏️ Kelleigh Greenberg-Jephcott will deliver a workshop on the writer’s palette- how to evoke emotion in your writing. Alice Jolly will talk about how to master voice and point of view and Nelle Andrew will provide tips on how to get out of the slush pile. ✏️ We have a variety of residential and non residential places available, at prices to suit all budgets. Price includes accommodation and meals. We may even be able to organise some yoga if enough writers are interested!
