The Radion Project Launch

I have just updated the blog on my author website and have realised that I keep choosing the same dress when I'm metaphorically wearing my author hat https://lisajanehorner.wixsite.com/lisahornerauthor/blog. Note to self, wear a different dress next time!

It was the Radion launch today, particularly for the lenticular screen, very recently the audio tour had been added which you access by scanning a QR code. More info can be found at https://radionproject.com/.

The Mayor was there, plus a few of us who had chosen buildings on one side of the lenticular screen and talked about those buildings on the audio tour. Also, the schools were visiting, many schools in the area had done projects to do with nature in the area and had made leaf rubbings. You can find out about that particular part of the project here.

You can read a bit more about this here . Colin Wilkinson started paying tribute to the NHS staff on the 25th April 2020. When he had done it for forty days he made the national newspapers when he was ...

Sylvia Kent’s Ten Top Tips for Writing and Promoting a Book

In her previous career Sylvia Kent had worked on typing the parliamentary debates for both Hansard offices (Lords and Commons) in Westminster for 26 years. In 1992 Sylvia helped start the Brentwood University of the Third Age (U3A). She was asked to start a gardening group which she organised for several years from her Brentwood home. This was followed by running a home-made wine group then a memoir-writing course. Sylvia explains, "When I joined the U3A I met a former journalist who had worked for The Times who ran a group to get members writing professionally. She suggested we should "write what we know" which sounds like a cliché. I was then making wine so I sent an article to The Lady magazine which described the basics of how to make a simple gallon of apple wine. This was published and led to other freelance work for other journals." Sylvia is currently a vice-president and archivist for the Society of Women Writers and Journalists (SWWJ) and w...
