Canada-Bound

A couple of months back, UK-based CWC treasurer, Elizabeth Ducie, spent a week in Toronto. It was a working holiday with a fair mix of writerly activities and more leisurely pastimes as well. In this week’s blog post, she tells us something about the work-related aspects of the trip.

Here Be Dragons!

On Wednesday 10th July, Chudleigh will be invaded by Dragons, although we’re not sure whether Daenerys Targaryen will be accompanying them on this occasion, and there will certainly be no White Walkers on the Play Park. (And unless you are a Game of Thrones fan, that last comment will be meaningless!).

Creative Writing Days

This week we have details of a great opportunity for local writers, brought to you by CWC member, Jackie Juno.

Meet The Members: Angela Wooldridge

This week, we meet another member of Chudleigh Writers’ Circle. Angie joined us a couple of years back and has been an active member of the group: she led us in a workshop on De Bono’s 6 Hats of Thinking two years ago; and was one of the entrants in the first ever Face The Chudleigh Dragons last year. This year she is one of the organisers of Chudleigh Literary Festival.

Meet The Members: Celia Moore

This week, we introduce another member of Chudleigh Writers’ Circle. Celia Moore published her debut novel in 2017, and she is excited that the sequel is due out on Wednesday next week (20th March). She says by book seven she might have mastered creative writing but at the moment, it seems the more she learns the more she discovers there is to find out …
