Welcome to #Indulgeinwriting founded by Sharon Thompson.

This is an exclusive network of writers.

I am asked a lot – ‘How did you start to write? How did you get published? What do I need to do to get my book finished? How do I make my book a best-seller?’

Are these questions you would ask me? If they are, then let me tell you, ‘A quick conversation or a cuppa, will not tell you all there is to know.’

With this in conversation in mind, I make this group happen.

It is €40 membership from now until Dec 31st 2018.

Membership fee

Only €40 from 1st July – 31st Dec

There will also be a few surprises for our members. If there’s a topic members would like help with, we aim to evolve with our members.

This is a new group, so we are small but our membership is growing and we would love for you to be part of this new initiative.

Our first recorded interview is with Vanessa Fox O’Loughlin, who is founder of The Inkwell Group, a publishing consultancy and also of the hugely popular national writing resources website, Writing.ie. Vanessa is also Ireland’s leading literary scout who has assisted many award winning authors and best-selling authors to publication.

This showcases some of the content that #Indulgeinwriting members will have exclusive assess to in the future.

Vanessa is also #1 Best-selling author under her pseudonym Sam Blake. The third in her trilogy, ‘No Turning Back’, is out on May 17th. We will take her book as our Monthly Read for May.
