Anyone from Devon?

Hi; I've just registered on this site and wondered if anyone here is from East Devon or thereabouts. I've been writing fiction for six months and completed second draft of Crime novel (90,000) and finished two short stories. Need motivating and local discussion/critique.Tried local writer groups but didn't find them interesting or helpful. Would like to start a new small group for people similar to myself.

Hi

I am in Livermead, Torquay and would certainly like to meet up with fellow writers for a chat. I have currently written my memoirs (150 thousand words) and also other fiction books. Just now editing and tidying up a business book that I have also written. My main problem is I think that I have written so much business documentation in my life, that I need to learn to write differently for fiction. email me to touch base on: stevehutchins@live.co.uk

Hi Ashley,

Did you ever get anywhere with this? I am in East Devon and would be interested. I have self published one thriller already and am giving some thought to the essential issue of promotion. It seems a good idea to have a self help group where each person can contribute something to the writing, editing, self publishing and promotion process.
