Carol Carman’s Writing Club
is 3.20 pm every other Monday on The Louise Hulland Show on BBC Local Radio
across the Eastern Region. I sets a prompt, listeners write something to that prompt,
as I do (see Carol’s Writings) and we review them at the following session.
Do join us, as a listener or a writer – whatever level you’re at. We don’t bite. 😀

BBC Radio Cambridgeshire, Norfolk or Suffolk on your radios, or listen on BBC Sounds.
