Travel Writing

Our first session in the 2025/2026 session is on Tuesday, 2 September at 2.30pm at Abbey Row Community Centre, Abbey Row, Kelso, TD5 7BJ.

As usual, we'll be in the Coffee Bar, the first room you come to after the front door.

This workshop, will be led by Elspeth Turner, and will be a discussion about travel writing. There will be several exercises, so come prepared to write, or just to listen.

We've decided to produce a new anthology and in this workshop we'll discuss what genre to choose for this anthology.

The suggested donation for the workshop is £5 (£4 for members), which includes light refreshments. If you haven’t attended one of our workshops before, we don't expect a donation.

There will also be an attendance sheet next to the donations tub. Please tick your name if it's there, or write your first name and surname, so that in the event of a fire, we can check that you're out of the building.

Creating Ebooks

Our next workshop is about creating ebooks. It’s a big topic, so this will be the first of several workshops on this topic.  Peter Munro will lead the workshop but he’s hoping you will come with questions and your own experience, if any. Ebooks used to be the purview of self-publishing but increasingly, "bricks and mortar" publishers are publishing new books as ebooks and some of their existing titles as ebooks. 

 The workshop is on Tuesday, 10th June from 2.30pm to 4.15pm at Abbey Row Community Centre, Abbey Row, Kelso, TD5 7BJ. The suggested donation for the workshop is £5 (£4 for members), which includes light refreshments. If you haven’t attended one of our workshops before, we don’t expect a donation.
