Lucy atkins

I’m on a panel tonight, weds 27 May, at Blackwell’s Bookshop, Oxford from 7pm to 9pm, talking about how to be a freelance journalist. Here’s how Blackwell’s describes the event:

‘We’ll be examining how producing work for newspapers and magazines differs from other kinds of writing and how one might earn a living from this kind of writing. On the panel will be Lucy Atkins, novelist, book critic and freelance feature writer; and Fleur Kinson, travel and property journalist. In the chair will be Cherry Mosteshar, founder of The Oxford Editors, author and journalist. Entry £3 and all welcome.
Group 2012 is a writers group based in Oxford and established by Blackwell’s Bookshop, The Oxford Editors and Hersilia Press. It meets on the fourth Wednesday of each month.’

If you want to build up a freelance writing career this could be a useful couple of hours.
