Dear friends, writers, and students,
Welcome to September, which can be a lovely softening month. Over the years I have noticed a weather pattern in Norfolk, the schools go back and the sun comes out for one last hurrah, often lasting days, yet the Swifts left early this year, so their magnetic intelligence must had told them the reason. To me, their leaving marks the end of summer, although I still hope for some sunny days.
September is also a month for setting my intentions, autumn offers a slice of solitude after a summer of visitors, with the added bonus of a new academic year, and autumn foliage marks the landscape in various hues.
The intentions I am setting are various, they will involve re-editing a novel, creating some fresh short stories and flash fiction (as my stock has, successfully, run low), mentoring a writer, and designing my new online art shop selling my prints.
I am delighted that The Artist’s Studio now has 30 Airbnb 5* reviews since joining Norfolk Coastal Retreats agency. A big thank you to Alex who has been a wonderful supportive agent.

Looking for an Editor
A former student of mine, Molly Barrett, whom some of you will remember from SCVA and other writing courses, is a talented writer and designer. She is seeking an editor for her short, serialised, historical fiction, set in the Regency Period 1816 in the year without a summer, when snow lay on the ground all over the country on June 6th. Which Molly describes as:- ‘A character led, magically, fantastical history.’
Her plan, which I consider to be inspired and achievable, is to compile it as short audio book read by an actor and sold online on Spotify (purchased by episode). Although Molly has limited resources, this is a paid opportunity for an editor with historical knowledge; Molly has almost completed her manuscript.
Please email me with your details, and I will put you both in touch.
