Professional wordsmith Maggie Elliot is offering Crossing Borders members training in press promotion.
Many of us struggle to write about our own work but there are lots of tips and skills which Maggie can teach us.
She will run two hour workshops with up to three participants so that everyone gets full attention. Cost to CB members is £20 and the workshops are held at her home at Bowden (five minutes from the A68 at Newtown St Boswells)
If you'd like to learn more then e-mail Maggie at scotsview@inkslinger.plus.com or call her on 01835 822857 or 07763 192938
