I have two online events this week with Pen to Print as part of ReadFest:
Join author Claire Buss for a Digital Storytelling Book Surgery.
Using Digital Storytelling: In March 2020, the coronavirus changed everything, and the UK locked down. This had a massive impact on everybody and gave a huge boost to technology. You've all used new apps, software and methods of communicating with work and loved ones.
One of the unique things that came out of the pandemic was our ability to tell stories digitally as well as a huge appetite for these stories, be it social media, dance riffs or favourite actors reading from favourite books. Claire’s Book Surgery will look at how authors can use these digital storytelling methods in their creation and promotion of novels as well as how we can effectively write technology into our books, without it being clunky or distracting.
Claire Buss is the author of The Gaia Effect, the first book published through the Pen to Print initiative.
Once you have signed up for this session you will receive an email confirmation containing instructions and guidance on how to set up and join the live session on Microsoft Teams. You will also receive a unique code to gain access to workshop activities on Google Classroom.
Booking is essential. Pen to Print and our partners reserve the right to remove participants who are found not to have booked a place for this session.

Write On! Magazine was born in June 2019, co-created by a team of writing volunteers, and published by Pen to Print. The volunteers bring a wealth of experience, with backgrounds in magazine publication and editing. Some are also authors and poets in their own right.
Bringing together all this creative talent lead to produce Write On! a writing publication full of interviews, articles, and helpful tips to like-minded writers.
As part of ReadFest, we're going to write the longest poem in Barking and Dagenham. Poet and Write on! page editor, Eithne Cullen, will be collecting rhyming couplets to compose the longest poem in LBBD. Write about your writing or your reading or your love of the library...Here's an example: I tire of writing poems and rhyme...

But most of his advice applies to non-fiction, short story, and poetry writing, as well. Additionally, Dan will discuss the most common errors he encounters as an editor; why some popular editing tips on the internet do not apply to creative writing; and what he looks for in a submission to Write On!
