This event is for students only, with plenty of opportunity for discussion and questions, and as close to being in the same room as we can make it! Students are invited to submit questions in advance on any part of the process: research, planning, characterisation, points of view, tense, plot, dialogue, editing and getting published. Nothing is off limits! 

To submit questions or any other enquiries, email r.brown@qub.ac.uk
