Win copies of Stella Duffy's Orange longlisted novel. Visit the Virago blog for details - it will only take a minute. Reviews for THE ROOM OF LOST THINGS: ‘A spellbinding lovesong to a part of London usually demonised ... a book of great sensitivity and passion ... Five years may have been a long time to wait for applause, but in the case of The Room of Lost Things, the wait is worth it’ Independent on Sunday
‘Five years in the writing, it shows Duffy reaching a new peak. Whether or not this proves her break-out book commercially, it is certainly a far greater artistic achievement than anything she has written previously’ Daily Telegraph

Free Workshop with Waverly Fitzgerald, writing coach and author of Slow Time: Recovering the Natural Rhythm of Life
Saturday, March 8th 12:00 pm PST/3:00pm EST
Do you have difficulty setting priorities? Do you dream of finding ways to put yourself – and your art – first? Seattle-based writing coach Waverly Fitzgerald gives demonstrations and exercises so you can set your plans and goals, while honoring your own commitment to yourself. Using her own brand of organic time management – or “slow time” – Waverly also teaches the difference between natural and artificial time, and how to align the creative rhythms to nature’s own flow.
Participation is limited. Registration required for this free virtual workshop. To attend contact us via email at events@hercircleezine.com.
