Hello 

If you remember in the last editing session we looked at novels written in letter/diary form, known as epistolary novels. Here is a list for you to choose from - write a piece - not too long - and at some point edit this piece.

In the next session we will look at the homework and several videos from Tom Ayling the antiquarian book collector/seller. Some of his books and stories are so interesting so I hope you enjoy!

I know some of you do not usually attend this session and there is no pressure to do the homework or attend but the videos are quite fascinating - if you are a book lover - well I think so anyway! If it's not your thing - no worries!



Here's the homework list: 
Write a letter from a soldier to their family during wartime​
Compose a series of love letters between two long-distance partners.​
Create a letter from a time traveler to their past self, offering advice and warnings.​
Write a letter from a famous historical figure to another, discussing a pivotal event.​
Pen a letter from a parent to their child, to be opened on their 18th birthday.​
Craft a letter from a prisoner to the outside world, describing their experiences.​
Write a letter from a person to their future self, predicting their life in 5 or 10 years.​
Compose a letter from a ghost to the living, revealing unfinished business.​
Create a letter from a character in a fairy tale to another, offering a new perspective.​
Craft a letter from an immigrant to their family back home, describing their new life.​
Write a letter from a person to a stranger, sparking an unexpected connection.​
Compose a letter from a mentor to their protégé, offering guidance and wisdom.​
Create a letter from a person to a lost loved one, expressing grief and memories.​
Write a letter from a person to their younger self, offering reassurance and perspective.​
Pen a letter from a person to a public figure, expressing disagreement or support.​
Craft a letter from a scientist to a colleague, discussing a groundbreaking discovery.​
Write a letter from a person to a fictional character, seeking advice or friendship​
Compose a letter from a person to a future descendant, sharing family history and values.​
Create a letter from a person to a past teacher, expressing gratitude and impact.​
Write a letter from a secret admirer to their crush, revealing their feelings.​
Pen a letter from a person to a sibling, reminiscing about shared memories.​
Craft a letter from a traveler to a friend, describing adventures and insights gained.​
Write a letter from a person to their hometown, reflecting on their roots and growth.​
Create a letter from a person to a neighbor, addressing a shared concern or conflict.​
Write a letter from a person to a pet, expressing love and companionship.​
