Details
Our guest speaker, Virginia Heath, will present our new trophy to Andrea Davis, winner of the inaugural Elaine Everest Memorial Competition, for the opening chapter of an unpublished saga novel.
Andrea’s entry, entitled ‘The Liverpool Library Girls’, opens in 1940 and introduces us to Grace as she reports for duty on her first day at a new job and finds there is much more involved than she expected! With hints of conflict, secret war work, family problems and romance, this extract has all the elements that draw readers in and make them want more.
Following the presentation Virginia will then give a talk.
Afternoon tea (cakes and sandwiches) will be served.
