In addition to the Arvon Foundation writing course I'll be teaching that I mentioned earlier, I've also added a new appearance to the Events page.  I'll be appearing in London at the LSE Literature Festival on a panel discussing "The Future of Teen Fiction".  It's free, but you will need a ticket.  Hope to see there!

And hello to the new commenters (I can't answer every questions, I'm sorry!):  Skyler, Philippa (good luck with the writing), Sophie (not really, it's usually painful but necessary, you have to be fearless about it), LadyViolet, Cambria, Sian (search my name and "Booktrust" and you'll find a whole set of writers' tips I wrote for new writers!), Ciara (do a web search, you'll find loads), and Lance.
