Over the years I’ve run many workshops for writers centres, libraries, festivals and schools.
Here are some writing craft related posts on the ROR site. ROR is my writing group – see blog. Thanks to them I stay sane. We meet every year or so to critique each other’s WIPs (Work In Progress).
(If there are any topics you’d like me to cover, leave a request in the comments).

Dear Rowena,
So much information on one page! I feel I have hit the jackpot.
I am a female fantasy writer from far north Queensland, having recently selfpublished a supernatural fantasy book called ‘Arrival’. The novel is an Amanda Quick style meets Carlos Casteneda type of book – would you consider reviewing it? I value your judgement highly. and crave your world of contacts!
The book is for sale on Xlibris at; http://www.balyssonnegaunt.com but of course I would be more than happy to forward you a copy – I know you must get many such requests – but I promise this book is more than a little different from the rest. I know everyone says that, but this time it is true. Please check out my website if you are looking for a refreshing change from a local female voice.
Yours sincerely,
Bey-Alyssonne Gaunt
