Reviews
"...you will find Simon Whaley's book invaluable" - Writing Magazine - April 2006.
"The book takes you on a journey through the process of setting up a writers' circle from defining the market, writing a constitution, appointing officers and structuring meetings to liaising with festivals, setting up competitions and organizing writers' retreats. All you need to know is delivered in a logical and comprehensive fashion and the addition of Chairman's Challenges adds a personal and creative touch. The book includes a list of useful websites and addresses. If you are considering setting up a Writers' Circle or want to inject new life into an existing one, I strongly recommend this book." Julie Boden, Raw Edge Magazine, Spring/Summer 2006.
