Lincolnshire Valentine's date with Kate Walker

Aspiring romantic novelists can spend Valentine's Day afternoon with bestselling author Kate Walker who is running a fiction writing workshop covering techniques including dialogue, characters, tension, pacing and settings. While the focus is on romance novels, the workshop can also be enjoyed by anyone just wanting to come along and have fun, even those with no writing experience.

Kate Walker has published 59 novels with Harlequin Mills and Boon, and is the winner of a Reviewers' Choice Best Presents Extra award from US magazine Romantic Times. Her guide to writing romance, the 12 Point Guide to Writing Romance, has been a bestseller and is going into its third edition.

"Budding writers should take advantage of this opportunity to speak to an expert in her field, " said Councillor Carl Sherwood at North Lincolnshire Council.

The workshop for budding writers takes place at the Angel Suite in Brigg on Tuesday, February 14, from 1.30pm to 4.30pm. Tickets are £7 and are available in advance from Ashby, Brigg and Scunthorpe libraries, or to book a place contact Emma Prideaux at North Lincolnshire Central Library on 01724 860161 or library.enquiries@northlincs.gov.uk.

Comment by Wendy Loveday on February 2, 2012 at 17:06: I have booked myself onto this as it sounds like a fantastic fun thing to do on Valentine's Day and is sure going to beat my plans for Valentine's night...my partner's 14year old lad is coming to stay after football training at 7.30pm so it looks like it's going to be an evening of card games. Mind you, I've got to give Ian his due as he is taking me away for a little romancing to Oxford and Cropredy for a long weekend tonight to make up for it. Is anyone else going to this workshop? I'm driving from York so if you're on my way I'm happy to give lifts, and if not maybe we could meet up for coffee beforehand?
