‘Greta’s seminar is well established – the group’s always small and intimate, everyone gets similar feedback time and it is a good and proper amount of time. It’s a safe space to consider progression of work. Sometimes I am writing prolifically, sometimes hardly much at all, but Greta’s monthly seminar is like a pace setter – it encourages me to write.’
