Authors’ Afternoon

Calling all budding authors….

Are you thinking of becoming a self-published author? Do you have a manuscript and are looking to get published?

2QT are holding their second Author’s Afternoon on Saturday 16th June 2018, an event open to all, aimed at anyone interested in finding out about the self-publishing route.

Come and enjoy a relaxed and informal afternoon with like-minded people,  a great opportunity to have your questions answered and find out more about:

  • How publishing works
  • 2QT’s approach to self-publishing
  • Preparing your manuscript for publishing
  • Cover design and typesetting
  • Advice on marketing your book and using social media

During the afternoon, you will discover how 2QT involves you throughout the whole publishing process; from concept and cover design to final production, as well as a chance to speak to some of our established authors who will be available on the day to answer questions about their personal journey with 2QT Publishing.

Saturday 16th June at The Folly Cafe, Settle, North Yorkshire from 2pm – 4pm.

Admission is free. Refreshments can be purchased from the cafe on the day.

For more information or to let us know you’re attending, contact kate@2qt.co.uk or call us on 01729 268010

Sat 19th May ‘Getting Published’ Workshop…A little ‘Thank you’ from Karen Holmes

A massive thank you to all the writers who came to the ‘Getting Published’ workshop on Saturday 19 May. It was good to meet you and hear about your work; I was more than impressed by your enthusiasm and dedication. Thank you also for working so hard – we covered a lot of ground in a short period of time. I hope you found some of the exercises and discussions useful, that you enjoyed yourselves – and that you’ve made some new friends. Take a look at some of the pictures!

If any of you decide to develop the restaurant scene, let me know – we’d love to showcase your work on the blog. Some cracking characters were staring to emerge and I’d like to know more about them!

Keep checking the website for more writing tips and details of forthcoming courses and workshops.

For those of you who had the patience (!) or courage (!) to tackle the Aaaagh worksheet, here’s the original version.

It began on a Friday afternoon, just after four o’clock. A grey, soul-draining afternoon when the sun never quite broke through. A day when there is no reason to look forward or to look back; just a day that would sink insipidly into dusk and then into darkness. A day as mercilessly ordinary as all the rest.

Allan started it. He put his head around my office door but left his body outside, leaning at an angle to look in at me. I don’t think Allan has ever knocked and walked straight into a room; that would be too direct, would give the person inside the chance to repel him. Instead he hovers, as if he were just passing by rather than consciously interrupting. No chance, then, for me to practise avoidance, to pick up the phone and pretend to be in the middle of an important conversation. No chance of escape.

‘Busy?’ he asked. I gestured at the scatter of paper covering my desk. ‘If you could spare a couple of minutes before you go home.’ He smiled amiably and retreated, but I can recognise a summons when one is given.

Allan is my boss. His full title is Overseas Student Liaison Officer. ‘I’m OSLO,’ he’s fond of saying, creasing his small round face into a smile as he laughs at his own joke. He looks the mildest of men but I am not deceived; he is a bastard to work for.

Thanks again for being such a good group to work with. Enjoy your writing.

All the best, Karen

Inspiration for our Workshops 2012

Following the success of our last workshops, we are looking to launch a programme of workshops and we would love to hear what you would like to see running at 2QT this year.

We have thought about running a workshop on Authors blogging and social media, or perhaps another creative writing course focusing on certain aspects such as characterisation.

All your thoughts and ideas are welcome so please leave us a comment below
