Hello Bronwyn! The members of the U3A writing group in Gloucester were really excited by your presentation at our Writers’ Festival. We are having a two day workshop on the 25th & 26th of October. We wonder whether you would be available to facilitate at this event (near Forster) and, if so, how much you would charge. There are 11 of us, and although we have different strengths and interests, I’m sure what you have to say and teach would be valuable for us all.
However, I won’t bother you with details until I know that you are willing and able and that we can afford your input!
Please could you let me know how you feel about the idea.
Yours sincerely,
Marg Collett
