I know it’s only February, and June seems very, very far away, but it’s time to think of Listowel.

Young writers are forever sending me wonderful pieces of writing, and I always say they should be entering competions. Listowel Writers Week has a host of writing competitions for children, and entry is free, so what are you all waiting for???????

The closing date is Friday February 25th, so get your skates on.

I was at Writers Week a few years ago, and absolutely loved it. I’m delighted to say I’ll be back again this year. I’ll be there on opening night, and will be doing events the next day. Maybe I’ll meet some competion winners when they go to collect their prizes.

Start writing now – and good luck!
