In February, we welcome back psychological thriller writer Karen Hamilton.
What happens after you get an agent and are offered a deal? Karen will talk about the editing process, showing real examples of some of her books and how they changed from original draft through to the final editing stages.
Karen spent her childhood in Zimbabwe, Italy, Belgium and the UK. She worked as a flight attendant for many years before putting down roots in Hampshire to raise her family. Her first novel, The Perfect Girlfriend, was a Sunday Times Bestseller, followed by The Last Wife, The Ex-Husband and The Contest.
Our guest speaker is Jude Hayland. Jude was a commercial short story writer for women’s magazines for over 25 years, published in the UK and internationally. After completing an M.A. in Creative Writing at Winchester University and graduating with distinction, she switched to writing full length novels and has published three with a fourth completed and out later this year. She writes literary/commercial/book group fiction and blogs regularly from her website on all things writerly and bookish.
The meeting will be Tuesday February 13th, at the Tower Arts Centre. Come along from 7pm. Talks start at 7:30pm. Members free, non-member tickets £10, students £2 (no advance booking, payment on entry).
