It won’t come as a surprise that the words “Berry Writers Festival” in the Subject line of emails sent to prospective participants elicit the enthusiastic – indeed, excited—responses: “Berry! Of course I’ll come!” This week we introduce you to Phillipa McGuinness and Jane Caro, two authors we're delighted to announce as part of our festival.
A week of consolidation, of talking to more potential authors, speakers and workshop convenors and to Berry locals who are enthusiastic and want to get involved, whether by offering their skills or by donating accomodation, services or cash.
W. Somerset Maugham said, “There are three rules for writing the novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.” I was thinking that perhaps that is why writers’ festivals are so popular. Everyone wants to discover the rules!
Those first weeks have been so much more rewarding than we could have imagined. Everyone who has heard of the project has been as much head-over-hills in love with it as we are.
