When a friend contacted me and said that it was a good article in Writers’ Forum [Aug/Sep] it took me a time to work out what she was talking about, and then I remembered that earlier this year I had been interviewed by Phil Barrington as part of a series of writers talking about the rooms they write in.

Wonderful photographer, Kevin Hickson had taken some snaps of me inside and outside my office, and there had been a whole host of questions from Phil about this very special room. I just popped into town early today to pick up my copy of the magazine, and am very impressed with the job that Phil has done in making me not only sound coherent but also like myself….

Writers’ Forum out now, full of tips from writers in every genre, also contains interviews with crime novelists Jacqueline Winspear and Peter James.

I'm looking for poems to read in the Poem of the Month slot on my monthly podcast.

If you'd like to write a poem [or have one fresh off the quill] and would like it to be considered just send it to me to james@jamesnash.co.uk, and I will pick one for August's podcast. It can be on any topic and probably no more than 20 lines.

The poem will be read by me, and the winner will get my copy of Never the Bride by Paul Magrs which I reviewed this month.

Get writing... entries in by 21st July please!
