Maxine Linnell lives in Leicester. She has written poetry, plays, short stories and now novels. She's also mentoring writers - and loving it. If you're interested, get in touch. She's in New Parks Library in Leicester on Thursdays, 1-3, with the Book Doctor, running the lovely Story Cafe. There all be courses too this year - Creative Writing at Westcotes Library, Young Adult fiction at Writing School Leicester, and a day workshop on Young Adult fiction in October at Nottingham Writers' Studio. She's available for talks to schools (14+) and adult groups. To find out more, contact her agent. “Maxine’s gentle but challenging approach gives groups here at Leicester Libraries the confidence to use their voices, written and spoken. We appreciate her wisdom and kindness and her warmth.” Alison Dunne, The Book Doctor, Leicester Libraries.Photo by the Book Doctor. |  |
