Pete and Laura asked Dawn

• What is a literary festival, and what should you expect when you attend?
• Tell us more about Oakwood Literature Festival.
• Why are these events good for authors? And writers?
• How can you make the most out of attending a literary festival?
• What about if one of our listeners wanted to plan an event like this? What advice would you have for them?
• What’s next for you? How’s your writing been going?
• What’s new with self-publishing?

Laura will be hosting our Creative Writing Gym workshop on 23rd April and giving a talk on How to Plan your DIY Wedding on 30th April.
