CENTENARY CELEBRATIONS FOR THE BECONTREE ESTATE - COURTESY OF PENTOPRINT

LAST DAY OF READFEST 2021 AT DAGENHAM. 

Congratulations to Lena and Lisa for bringing such interesting authors to PENTOPRINT today. I enjoyed meeting two local authors Elaine Spires and Farzana Hakim and learning what each of them have experienced and taught in their fascinating lives. All of us could wax positively about our childhood and upbringing in our old town. 

By hosting workshops and inspiring and encouraging women writers in their own neighbourhood, the whole team at Dagenham are providing important and valuable support. I enjoyed the whole afternoon and hope my new friends Farzana and Elaine will be our guests on our writing fraternity Phoenix98fm radio show (Brentwood) and keep us in the loop with their upcoming literary successes. 

Last day of ReadFest 2021! What a fab 3 weeks
