The next event in the Society’s calendar is our AGM and Summer Gathering, which takes place in London, on Thursday 29 June. The AGM is open to all members, whether or not they have booked a place for the afternoon that follows, and gives them the chance to find out what’s happening in the SWWJ and to have their say.
As usual, the Summer Gathering will include a delicious afternoon tea, time to mingle and catch up with old friends, and a fascinating after-tea speech. Our speaker is Richard Combes, Head of Policy at the Authors’ Licensing and Collecting Society, who will be talking about the work of the ALCS and the additional fees that may be due to us as writers (but that so many fail to claim!)
Looking further ahead to the Autumn, Sue Moorcroft will be running a fiction workshop for us in October (details and booking form available soon), and we will shortly be announcing a brand new initiative which we are calling Writer’s Debut. This will be a new category of SWWJ membership, especially for new and unpublished writers. Debut membership will last for one year and include access to a comprehensive critique of the writer’s work in progress, which we hope will help them along the road towards publication and ultimately to qualify for full SWWJ membership.
