I am only getting started with regard to trying to get donations for the event, but I have a feeling it will be very similar to the process an author goes through when submitting work to an agent/publisher.

I’m in the early stages of co-organising a charity event to raise funds for Marie Curie. We’re looking at a quiz, an unusual raffle and other family favourites such as the much-loved Tombola and Name-A-Bear. Sounds good so far?

As you’ve noticed, I haven’t checked in here in a while – not because I’m no longer interested in blogging, but because I’d expected the site to disappear (as mentioned previously). Today, however, I’ve decided to spend the day trying to catch up on loose ends, including all the little bits and bobs I know… Read more »

>мебели сливен been reading a LOT of books lately (almost one per day) and I’ve enjoyed every one of them. Books are a great way to occupy the mind and imagination, but I won’t be able to continue at this pace, as I can’t afford it! I don’t review books, as I worry about giving… Read more »
