Bristol publisher SilverWood Books Launches Virtual Book Writing Club

Bristol publisher SilverWood Books is launching a virtual book writing club with the first event on Thursday 10 December.

If you have an idea for a book or always wanted to write one, SilverWood’s Book Writing Club offers the support of a membership group with training each month to help you finish your book. 

Launching with an introductory price, members will receive helpful writing prompts, guidance and support from SilverWood’s publishing director, Helen Hart, book marketing specialist, Debra Penrice, and renowned ghostwriter, Tom Henry. 

People remain enthusiastic about writing and self-publishing their stories. SilverWood’s publishing director Helen Hart said: “We are often approached by people who are at the very beginning stages of their journey and decided that Writing Club would be a great way to help them. During the first British lockdown, we saw plenty of evidence that reading was increasing, as people had more time for their leisure pursuits. And now with the UK launch of online book seller, bookshop.org, it’s an exciting time for our authors. There are plenty of opportunities to promote their books online, even though local events are on pause.”

In spite of the pandemic, the number of new publications for SilverWood Books has remained buoyant in 2020, leading to the expansion of the team. The company recently announced the appointment of Debra Penrice as head of marketing, who joins the SilverWood team to build their author communities, oversee marketing operations, and to focus on book marketing support for SilverWood authors. 

Debra will host SilverWood’s Book Writing Club sessions with Tom Henry, with book coaches, editors and experts joining them for the monthly events. 

 “I’m delighted to join the team at SilverWood and to be working with some brilliant literary professionals to launch our new community. Tom is a prolific author, best known for ghostwriting the autobiography for snooker star Stephen Hendry. Together, we’ve got an exciting list of guests lined up for our monthly training sessions to inspire writers to complete their works," Debra said.
