Calling all budding authors...
Preparations for 2016 are in full swing! Carlilse Homes have shortlisted us for their current round of grants... if we get enough online support! You can click on the link and hit 'support' to ensure 2016 is LRH's best year yet:

While I am knee-deep in paperwork and purchasing equipment (shopping - yay!), several friends of LRH are gearing up for Lighthouse Holiday Workshops!
Beginning in March, we will be looking at developing writing and story-telling skills in lots of different ways:
- Photo-essays: Pictures can tell a thousand words – imagine the scope of stories told entirely in pictures!
- Characterisation: We will practise getting to know our characters on a deeper level
- Setting: Designing a whole new world, Tolkien-style, in which we can set our stories
- Story Sounds: We will be playing with sound-effect software and using it to help tell our stories
Sounds brilliant, right!?! I'm so looking forward to the kind of joy that comes from working hard on a dearly loved project... A little nervous too, because once this ball starts rolling I don't think it will stop! But mostly just super motivated to get started working with young writers and see the wonderful things they can come up with.
If you'd like more info or if you're interested in being involved somehow, drop me a line and we will have a chat. Or if you'd like to share some ideas, or feedback, or deliver some words of encouragement, we'd be totally ok with hearing that too!
I'm so excited for this to start! 2016 really is a year for new beginnings...
