An author is to give free advice on how to turn an idea into a published book this weekend.

Lisa Newton, who has published books on mathematics, marketing and accounting, will run the workshop How to Write a Book in Two Weeks on Saturday (July 18).

The two hour session, primarily for non-fiction writing, will advise wannabe writers on how to come up with ideas, structure them logically and get them published.

It will be held in Leyton library, High Road and begins at 11am with free tickets bookable by clicking here.
