Hello!

Lots of exhibitions, a few concerts and even a fashion show this week.

http://rendez-vous-riberac.blogspot.com/2011/02/

 

It’s worth remembering that the first weekend of the month always has a flea market in Bergerac, and that it is car-free in the centre of Bordeaux. The trams still run and there is always a lively market on the waterfront in Bordeaux opposite the hangars.

Best wishes,

Helen

Creative writing courses

Chez Castillon is situated in a magnificent eighteenth century townhouse in the heart of Castillon La Bataille on the beautiful river Dordogne. Here Mike and Janie offer painting, photography and creative writing courses.

Coming up on Saturday 1st October – Friday 7th October 2011 they are running a writing course entitled ‘Writing Commercial Woman’s Fiction’ to uncover the secrets of page-turning in a five-day hands-on workshop. Veronica Henry is coming over for the event.

Veronica Henry is a scriptwriter and author. She has written for some of our best-known dramas, including The Archers, Heartbeat and Holby City. She has just published her ninth best-selling novel, The Birthday Party (Orion Books).

Commercial women’s fiction covers a huge range of best-selling authors, from Maeve Binchy via Jilly Cooper to Adele Parks and Marian Keyes. Students will collaborate on developing a commercial women’s fiction novel from start to finish, thereby learning first-hand everything from narrative structure and character development to the importance of a good title. Although we will be working together, there will be plenty of opportunity to express yourself and find your own voice, and each student will also have a one-to-one session with the course tutor throughout the week to discuss how to progress their own ideas. The aim is to de-mystify the art of writing and to give students the tools and the confidence to embark on their own novel.

For local (non-residential) students we would charge 75 euros per day...for tuition and lunch with wine.

Anyone interested can contact us direct...through w/site or straight to me:
