WANTED: Women writers, aged 40 or over, to live rent-free in a small 18th century Warwickshire cottage, all bills and council tax paid, AND £9,000 a year to spend...

Has anyone on YWO discovered this offer? I was house-hunting in the village (Clifford Chambers) a couple of days ago, and heard all about it from the next door neighbour. You can get more info by googling Clifford Chambers women writers.

I wonder if I, as Ruby Barnes, would qualify. Age 47 and female (well, my writing persona is female).
Love the sound of use of a boat on the river. There's a novel in this.

Having seen the cottage (while viewing the one next door, which also has riparean rights) I would say that it's probably well worth a sex change.

Sadly, you need to have a publishing contract in hand to take advantage.

Not that I'm old enough, anyway... Next year, maybe.

According to this article, you'll be fine as long as you're not pretty and don't wear lipgloss. And ideally you're a weary granny. Like all over-40 year olds, apparently

So glad you posted this - I saw an article about it on Midlands Today but when I was telling someone about it I forgot the name of the project.

It seems like a very good thing

I don't know how to exist let alone function creatively without lip gloss. Lol
