Writers In Prison

Posted by Jane Gallagher on June 11, 2008 10:21 AM

I am feeling a little weary after returning from the Writers in Prison Network Conference which was held in Bristol on Monday.
It was a long way to go for one day, especially with the first train cancelled and the ubiquitous drunk seranading us all the way on the latenight Merseyrail train back home.
But despite it all, the trip was well worth it.

A Hard Day's NIght

Last night I met up with Martin Edwards, author of last month's featured book, Waterloo Sunset.
As well as being an author Martin is Head of Employment Law at Mace and Jones solicitors and last night was the official launch of a Short Story competition sponsored by the firm.
