Production of Edition 2 is currently underway: as you’ll know if you received our newsletter about it a couple of months ago, we’re going to be focusing on different points of view and narrative perspectives, and this edition also features interviews with Joanne Harris, bestselling author of Chocolat, and National Poet of Wales, Gillian Clarke. There’s also a whole section dedicated to Writers’ Groups– what they do, how they support creative writers and also some advice for starting up your very own gathering for writers, readers and like-minded souls. Remember to get your Writers’ Group’s profile to us for inclusion if you haven’t done so already.

Alongside all of the above, the magazine will include the regular goodies: the Write About Writing Showcase, writing and commentary from Leaf authors, course reviews, listings and opportunities for creative writers. We're extending our offer of Free Listings to our Autumn Issue. This issue of the magazine will be current from early September 2010 until January 2011, so please send us details of any literary events, courses, holidays, magazines, competitions and opportunities for writers that are taking place this Autumn. Listings should not exceed 50 words – please email them to us by 01 July 2010, quoting Magazine listings in the subject line.
