I felt very privileged to be accepted as a full member of the SWWJ. The society was founded by Joseph Snell Wood in 1894 and it celebrated its 125th anniversary this year. I went to my first event, a Christmas Tea and it was held in the beautiful, historic National Liberal Club in Westminster.
I attended with my good friend Julie and this wouldn't be at all possible if it wasn't for author Sylvia Kent who mentioned that I could join the society on Phoenix FM, she had invited me onto the Book Club which is part of Michelle Ward's 'Eat My Brunch' weekday show. I finally took the bull by the horns and applied to become a member and Sylvia kindly sponsored me and got somebody else to sponsor me too.
I was thrilled to find out that Baroness Floella Benjamin is the President of the society and hope that one day I will meet her. We had a lovely tea and we chatted to a few other authors which was really interesting. I didn't take any pictures of the day but you can find out more about what went on by popping over to Sylvia's blog.
