Carol Carman’s Writing Club
is every other Monday on The Louise Hulland Show on BBC Local Radio
across the Eastern Region. Carol sets a prompt, listeners write something to that prompt,
as does Carol herself (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.
