Over the past 15 years Julie Phillips has been and still is a member of many different groups and committees including: writing groups, Parent/Teacher Associations, local community campaign committees, Scout committees, School Governor Committees, various further education groups and nursing groups. She has probably seen it all when it comes to how groups work and how they can come off the tracks. With her experience and insider knowledge on how good groups function she has crammed all she knows about making groups work well into this book. She’s done the leg work so you don’t have to fall into the traps loitering within unsuspecting writing groups.
