A journalist has contacted us looking for writers to talk to- for a piece on how a writer- doesn't have to have great track record- finds a place to work amid the chaos of daily and domestic life, so if you write in a cafe, park, on buses or trains, etc, are you interested? Women only.

Yes. I use a laptop, on the sofa, with my reference books piled around me on the floor, getting splattered with red wine...

Anna, few questions first. Which publication and what line are they taking? As an unpublished fiction writer, I wouldn't want to jeopardise my chances by coming across as a desperate wannabe.

<Added>

I don't mean for taking part in the interview, but what you say and what gets into print might be quite different.

I could do that in between two part time jobs, 8 year old child doing swimming, ballet etc and trying to find some sort of sanity somewhere!!!

I'd be happy to have a chit-chat...but I too, like Jubbly, would like to know a bit more about what it would entail. Women only, you say. I'd hazard a guess it's for a women's magazine? I think it would be interesting, so count me in.

'Doesn't have to have a great track record' - what about no record whatsoever?? :D

Sounds like a fun thing to do, Anna - I'd be up for it, but would like to know more too!

I'm interested as well, but would also like a bit more info.

cheers

Steph

yep, think i'm up for that, once I know more details.

Gina.

Okay, ladies, it's for a nice freelance journalist doing a piece for Family Life about how women juggle- so specifically focusing on a writer who writes outside the domestic space. If you're still interested, then say so and I'll forward you details. Thanks. We are also interviewing this journalist- she's a well-respected freelance who contributes frequently to the Guardian and other broadsheets.

I'm still interested in being interviewed if they're interested in interviewing, Anna.

ditto

thanks

Steph

Yep - I'm up for that if she'd be interested!
Sue

outside the domestic space

Does that mean I’m not eligible on my sofa?

Dee

I can multi task, yeah i know it's hard for a man, but eh, I can sit on the toilet, think, write notes, and poo at the same time! ;o)

I'm up for this too!

LoL
