This week we had a discussion on what makes a good story and what is it that really attracts a reader to a story. We discuss what attributes make our favourite stories our favourites, and what traits should be absolutely avoided.
This was followed by a natter on competitions – the benefits, the pitfalls and really how useful are they to a writer?
Presented and produced by Cathy Clarke, Kate Mulholland and Máire Brophy.
