SKYROS EASTER SESSION
This year Pascha coincides with the Roman Easter, and Skyros runs a seven-day session which will enable its participants to experience the magic of the Greek Holy Week. Two courses are on offer: Alice Jolly’s writing course that goes under the title Kitchen Table Writing and Andry Anastasiou’s Coaching and Self-Coaching. Vasso will also be there to help you make some Greek Easter cakes! Take a look here.

SKYROS FUND RAISES £12,000
We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all those who contributed to the Skyros Fire Fund. The fund was set up in response to the devastating forest fire in July last year that wiped out hundreds of acres of pine forest on Skyros island, Greece. Thankfully, there was no loss of life or injuries.

Members of Skyros staff and holiday makers have raised twelve thousand pounds and this money has now been presented to the islanders. Some of the money has been handed directly to a few local families including the Kyra-Kali family in Fokas Bay who lost their orchard and livestock. The rest will be given to local representatives towards reforestation and protection of the island’s magnificent pine forest.

WRITERS' LAB SUCCESS STORY
We are delighted to share with you some inspiring news from a Writers' Lab participant.

'Since taking a course at the Writers' Lab at the Skyros Centre in October 2007, I am now delighted to announce the publication of my first novel! "All things bright and beautiful", a black comedy about the television industry, by Shani Solomons, is available online from Amazon and Waterstones.

Many thanks to my course tutor Joyce Dunbar and all the other people who encouraged me to 'go all the way' - I am gobsmacked to have got there!' Shani Solomons

The Writers' Lab begins again this April and has an excellent reputation for nurturing talent. Just recently, The Guardian named it Number 1 of the World's Five Best Writing Holidays.
