A write good future
In true welsh tradition, I made a phone call on March 1st 2013 - St Davids Day. That phone call was to change my life for ever. I rang 'Authors Abroad,' a company well versed in doing school talks and workshops the world over. They have big names with them too; Alan Gibbons, Ali Sparkes, Mark Robson...the list goes on. They accepted me in with the group of about a hundred writers.
Authors Abroad, book writers in schools for their; Able Writers, a pre SAT's programme. This helps them with punctuation, grammar and spelling, so they can create a short story with all three elements in place. There's also Presentations and small workshops too. So, I was thrilled and a little scared to join. But I knew this was the one chance I was looking for to acheive my dream of becoming a complete writer.
So, I handed in my notice at the factory where I worked and...hoped for the best. April 29th 2013 I officially started work as a self-employed writer. Here's hoping that the future is kind.
