with Gillian Stern, Antonia Honeywell and Cari Rosen

Come and pitch your ideas for a short story, novel or memoir to Finchley’s own Literary Dragons.

Read us a short extract or synopsis and we will ask you some questions and give you instant, constructive feedback. Writers will have 4 minutes to present their writing.

The dragons will then choose a winner and two runner-ups.

There are only 8 places available (Rosie & Josie are organizers). To register your interest, RSVP and email finchleyliteraryfestival@gmail.com for guidelines and confirmation.

The Literary Dragons:

Passionate about fiction and experienced in spotting and editing bestsellers, Gillian is also a successful ghostwriter, having ghosted eight memoirs to dates.

Antonia Honeywell is a teacher, writer and promiscuous reader. Antonia was named one of Amazon’s Rising Stars of 2015 and her debut novel, The Ship, was an Evening Standard bestseller in the week of publication. She lives in Buckinghamshire with her husband and four young children.

She can often be found walking long distances around London and usually has her nose in a book.
