Slough Writers - My Presentation - 'Writing for Magazines' (non-fiction)

 This evening, I presented to Sloughwriters, my writers' group a talk entitled 'Writing for Magazines' (non-fiction). I have to admit to having been somewhat nervous talking to a group of various writers. It was attended by around 17 members. The gist of what I spoke about is given in this handout.

I'd planned the talk to take around one hour which it did, almost to the minute and I think it went reasonably well.

My ambition is to make myself available to other groups, clubs, and organisations based in Berkshire and surrounding counties. If you wish to book me, please click here for further information.
