Calling for writers !! We need YOU for future live events !!

[Lorraine]

Seeing as they're popular among our members and that it's a way of us all spending a nice evening together, we will be continuing the live events.

The format remains unchanged for now.

We are looking for candidates for the future events.

If you are interested, please put your name forward.

Thanks a bunch !

[Rosen]

I haven't taken part in a live event. What do they entail?

[Lorraine]

Basically, for a couple of hours usually, one evening, readers fire questions at you... It's a bit like a live chat, but on a forum thread... Just give me a second and I'll pull out an example :)

[Lorraine]

Here, you have all the previous ones http://www.goodreads.com/topic/group_...

You're welcome to pop in on Tuesday night for Steve's before you decide :)

[R.J.]

Greetings Lorraine, I may be up for it sometime, if you will have me.

[Lorraine]

Of course RJ :) Thank you ♥

[Rosen]

I'm interested. However, I don't want to be a tourist, simply popping in my my own live event. Are they always on Tuesdays? I have a writers' group on Tuesdays.

[Lorraine]

No, they used to be on fridays, but not everyone could attend. So we decided to go for any day, but Ian's was on a Friday again because that's the only day he could do. Steve went for tuesday. It just depends on the writer's schedule really :) Yours can be any day you want. We're not setting dates yet, just working out who's interested so there's plenty of time :)

[Andrew]

Well, I'm interested, but with one slim volume of short stories that only three people from the group have read (to my sure and certain knowledge, at least), I suspect it might be a bit of a damp squib. Perhaps when I've published a bit more!

[Lorraine]

Sure Andrew :)

Oh yes. Must move that to my homepage.

It's going to be my reading on flights.

Gosh - hope you enjoy!

[Stuart]

More than happy to give it a go!

[Lorraine]

Thanks Stu !

[David]

Um. Hello. Can I play? I've brought my own ball.

[Marc]

[Lorraine]

[Lorraine]

Why a voice check?

[Michael]

I'd be up for this.

[Harrison]

I'll bring the cake if you'll have me :)

[Patti (baconater)]

Great stuff!

Lorraine is going off on holidays but I'm sure she'll be raring to go on future live events when she returns.

Do watch this space!

[Patti (baconater)]

I'm going to feature this thread as well, so Lorraine has lots to do when she gets back from her lovely holiday! :)

[Will]

Now I've crawled from under my stone, I'm up to play, as well

[J.M.]

May I join when Lorraine returns from holiday?

Thanks Patti ! Guys, I'll be on it as soon as I'm back !

[Evie]

I'd like to get involved in this too, if it's OK to put myself forward as I've only just joined?

[Harriet]

Newbie raises hand!

[Grace]

I''d love to take part and Tuesdays are perfect for me (except for every second Tuesday...but that's my problem.)
I can offer everyone a glass of red wine and some Tesco own-brand pringles if that helps.

[Skyler]

I'd love to do it. But I'm not sure I qualify. I have one book out (second being worked on in the next week or two). But I'd love to answer questions on the writing process etc, or anything you want to throw at me.

[Helen]

I'd love to do it.

Here are my books:


Thank you!

[Jamie]

Evening folks,

I'll gladly take part. A few members on here have read my books so it might be fun, or tragic and lonely. Either way I'm available.

[Mark]

I'd happily have a go. In fact I'd love to
Mark

[Kath]

I've read one of Jamie's and one of Mark's - they're good writers!

Edit - I'm sure the others are but I could just see these two as the latest posts!

[Patsy]

I'm interested in doing this too.

[James]

I finally have some free time between the book launches, so you may sign me up for that too... except both Tuesday and Friday evenings are a no-no for me (Japanese lessons!)

[Jonathan]

I'd be interested in this some time, but is anyone interested in what I have to say?! ;)

[Gary]

I'd love to give this a go at some stage. As long as I don't have to share my Pringles (I'm assuming it will be BYOP?)

[Kath]

Well Gary, I'm not sharing my tangey cheese Doritos (other lard-enhanced snack products are available) so we had better sit in opposite corners!

[Gary]

Not bothered *he says sulkily* Don't like them, anyway.

[Nick]

I'm up for this if it's not already full up and anyone's interested.

[Kath]

It's Lorraine who co-ordinates them - I think she's been away. We aren't ignoring all you lovely writers!

[Lorraine]

Yes sorry, getting myself organised, but being very disorganised at the moment ! Won't be much longer !

It's a feeling I know all too well.

[Scott]

I'd love to be a guest--never backed away from babble before and I'm getting too old to start now.

[Lorraine]

Thanks Scott :)

Last call, I think I might have enough writers for the next year or so, when I draw up the list and start organising I'll stop recruiting for a while :)
