To kick off the new season of Hampshire Writers’ Society talks, we’re delighted to welcome Judith Heneghan back as our main speaker.
Judith Heneghan is a writer, programme leader for the MA Creative Writing at the University of Winchester, and a mentor with Jericho Writers. She has written over 60 books for young people, and her first novel for adults, Snegurochka (Salt, 2019) was shortlisted for the Edward Stanford travel writing awards.
She’ll be talking about her recently published second novel Birdeye. Members are encouraged to read Birdeye ahead of the September meeting and come prepared with questions.
Our guest speaker is local historical fiction author Lelita Baldock. Her novels The Baker’s Secret and The Girl Who Crossed Mountains, published through Storm Publishing, explore lesser-known stories from World War Two, focusing on the untold stories of women during this era-defining conflict.
Lelita will talk about drawing from your family history to write historical fiction authentically and honestly.
The meeting will be Tuesday September 10th, at the Tower Arts Centre. Come along from 7:00pm. Talks start at 7:30pm. Members free, non-member tickets £10, students £2 (no advance booking, payment on entry).
