Here's a brief synopsis of what's going to happen - newspaper style
What?
Talking about what journalists look for in a story and how to get their attention
Why?
Because start-ups need publicity and I want to help, and I'm a great supporter of the library service, so it made sense to combine the two
When?
Wednesday April 12 6pm
Where?
Millennium Library Norwich
How?
Telling them a bit about me, showing a slide or two, getting them to 'pitch' a story, and maybe a bit of a Q&A
