Just thought I'd draw attention to some writing 'events' on the box and radio this week:

25 Years of Poetry Please on Radio 4, 4pm, Sunday 3 Oct- a special anniversary edition

The Story of the Novel; series charting the development of lit fiction is repeated.

Also on Monday: at 10.30am, TV writer Lynda 'Widows' La Plante shares her writing tips. She also created Prime Suspect and many other strong female character-led series. ITV1.

Later that day, novelist James Patterson is a guest on love-em-or-loathe-em Richard and Judy; Channel 4, 5pm.

Michele Roberts reads her short story 'Your Shoes' on Wednesday 6th oct, Channel 4, 10.20 am.

And Friday 8th Oct; Radio 3 poet-in-residence Mario Petrucci reads new work. Radio 3, 8.10pm.
