PRAISE FOR BUZZ WORDS...
I have been completely impressed by the two
editions of Buzz Words I have received so far. And, knowing
Di has been writing, editing and teaching for many years, I also
know that her insights and contacts are something I don't
want to miss out on. Sign up for your free copy and check it
out - I guarantee you
won't be disappointed.

I have LOVED my first couple of editions of BUZZ
WORDS. Thanks for all the hard work that obviously goes
into its publication...keep
up the good work!

The best section of Buzz Words is the expectation
as I wait each month to receive my newsletter, because
the contents
do not disappoint. Over the years while I have been writing for
children (albeit spasmodically) I found there has been little support
for children's writers, even though I am a member of various writer's organisations.
Now I know I can look forward to receiving relevant and ongoing information,
to give
me the knowledge I need, the encouragement and support I crave,
and loads of opportunities to enable me to create and hone my craft.
