Scottish Book Trust: Young Writers Conference

It was an amazing event for people aged 14 - 17. I went and really enjoyed myself, and got the best writing advice from Gillian Philip, David Almond, Douglas Maxwell, Elspeth Murray and Lindsey Fraser. There was also a fantastic performance from Words per minute. Anybody who missed the amazing opportunity should look up the Scottish book trust website: www.scottishbooktrust.com

A tip from amazing playwright Douglas Maxwell: "A story is a series of obstacles, the more hassles the easier. In the end the character either gets what they want or comes to term to what they will never have."

Any other event like this, I strongly recommend people to go!
