As you will see from the poster below, loads of authors, children’s activities and critique and feedback sessions.
CRITIQUE & FEEDBACK
Two fabulous Suffolk authors, Rosy Thornton and Ruth Dugdall, are kindly giving their time to critique written work of up to 1000 words.
Email your work to us, choose your preferred author, make a payment and pick a time slot. It’s as easy as that, but places are limited, so it’s first come, first served.

Bronwen Grono, Enid Thwaites, Tricia Cass, Elizabeth Manning-Ives and Suzan Collins after a delicious cuppa and cake in their delightful café.
Authors were asked for a photo for the library’s Facebook page.
