Rowfant House, West Sussex – September 16, 2009
UNITED AUTHORS has just had its inaugural meeting at Rowfant House in Sussex, a historic venue for the literary great and a Setting fore historic dramas films. Authors living south of London are invited. The meeting was well attended and the main speaker was Mark Le Fanu Generals Secretary of the Society of Authors.
The objectives are:
to offer mutual support to authors,
to invite quality speakers to talk about pressing professional issues to writers and illustrators,
to run self-help workshops and to network within the industry.
Authors have to increasing struggle against ageism and corporate publishing. There is a great danger that modern technology and distribution will kill literature as we know it. Instead we may be entering a world of books with celebrities names on the outside and the identity of the ghost writer hid within. We may be faced with no new classics because books are no longer edited and unsuitable for teaching in schools.
Located south of London
