I’m organising residential writing retreats for anyone who wants to explore how their running, hiking and climbing activities might tell a good story!
Currently writing a chapter on the evolution of the Burberry climbing gowns of the 1910s, for sporty women. This ad from 1909 shows their sports gown, with a similar c1914 style. PS I know this is not what we call sporty now, but y’know, different times folks! @MuseeMcCordStew
And for the weekday crew: I'm organising 2 residential writing retreats, in beautiful Harrogate, for anyone who's interested in writing about running, hiking or climbing. You definitely don't need to be a full-time/professional writer! See my website: rachelhewitt.org/retreats/
For the weekend crew: Do your outdoor adventures – running, hiking or climbing, on foot or with mobility aids – tell a story? Would you like to try writing that story? I am hosting two residential writing retreats on the theme of writing about running, hiking and climbing.
I found this article about attitudes to fact-checking in non-fiction publishing interesting. I'd love to hear about whether publishers think an onus on books' 'sensitivity' has come to outweigh the importance of factual accuracy, within publishing houses. observer.co.uk/news/national/…
