'Extending the hand of friendship' is exactly what Pete and the writing team have done, creating a community where aspiring writers are encouraged, mentored, given a wealth of free critique, seminars and advice, and where our confidence and ability has been nurtured. Remember the masterclass at Cromarty and how it was such a turning point for us?!
