This was such a fun session. It’s always lovely to meet new writers and I love imparting everything I’ve learned so they can hopefully go into writing more informed. So happy everyone found it helpful! Swipe for quotes and a photo of me and my dear friend

The copy on the slide reads:
Longton Library Writing for Children workshop with A.M Dassu @a.m.dassu
‘Everything covered was absolutely amazing!’
‘It was helpful and friendly, which encourages people to participate’
‘Just a big thank you to all involved. I’ve come away feeling so inspired and ready to make changes in my own personal writing life.’
‘Honesty and encouragement from the host. Dealt with any questions easily and felt that was helpful’
‘I enjoyed every moment of the session. It gave me a real insight into a world that I felt was not for people like me. I left feeling so inspired and hopeful.’
- workshop attendees
“What a lovely session – it was absolutely fantastic to welcome residents into Longton Library for an insightful, informative and incredibly enjoyable workshop.
Az was very knowledgeable and talked about topics that I don’t think have been covered in previous workshops I’ve attended – really getting down to some of the nitty gritty of what being an author can be like. There were some fantastic hints, tips and revelations, from working with agents, the editing process to when it’s best to submit a manuscript for consideration. It was a delight to welcome AM Dassu to Longton Library and to host this workshop which we heartily hope will lead to an active writing group.“ - Amy Capewell, Librarian, Longton Library
“I remember what it felt like when starting out, trying to figure out the publishing process, so I shared everything I’ve learned in over a decade; from the importance of a good agent, the publication process, the vital pitch, editing, promotion, genres and word counts. I wanted attendees to leave feeling empowered and ready to take the next step in their writing journeys.” A. M. Dassu
