Oliver Eade's Talk: Writing for Children from Seven to Seventy



A TALK BY
 

OLIVER EADE




The Kelso Writers Workshop have invited local Borders writer, Oliver Eade to give a talk about Writing for Children from Seven to Seventy at the Abbey Row Community Centre, Kelso 2.30 pm - 4.30 pm Tuesday 3rd March 2015.

Refreshments available. Instead of the normal £2 fee for the hire of the room, donations will be given to help Oliver's charity, The Edinburgh Sick Kids Foundation.

Oliver has published over fifty short stories, five children's novels, the first of which Moon Rabbit was long-listed for the 2008 Waterstone's Children's Book Prize and a winner of the WAAYB 2007 New Novel Competition. Both Moon Rabbit and its sequel, Monkey King's Revenge link Scotland with Ancient China. He has also published young adult and adult novels and a play, The Gap which went on tour in the Scottish Borders 2012. Oliver follows no particular genre although he is drawn to that space that lies between reality and fantasy the space where children fit into so easily. All welcome to come along.

I urge everyone to bring along anyone who might be interested in this talk.
