| The Biro Babes are a women's writing group based in North Motherwell. They are supported by North Lanarkshire Council Community Education Service. I was lucky enough to be tutor on a great weekend with the group at the Arvon Foundation, Moniack Mhor recently and thought it would be a good idea to give the girls a forum on the site where they could show their work online, and also add poems, stories, anecdotes, recipes etc on a growing basis. The following are links to tasters from all of the group for your to enjoy. Watch out - The Biro Babes have arrived! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

MARETH YOUNG Mareth isn't anyone's mum though she is a Community Education Worker in Motherwell, which pays better but only slightly. She likes reading, eating (chocolate mostly) and being right (which isn't something she enjoys very often.) |
