TCNS specialise in helping businesses of any size with effective use of technology. They've got a Microsoft accredited helpdesk team backed up by highly skilled field and network solutions engineers and, while they offer a host of different services, their main core is IT support, Voice & Data cabling, and Cloud services. I've worked with them in a previous role and they helped me get the right laptop for my needs (and set it up for me). Go to their website at www.tcns.it for more information.

She's basically brilliant at organisation. If it needs sorting out, she will do it. She's professional, very good at her job and, almost as important, a hoot. http://www.roisinduffyva.com/
Royal Shakespeare Theatre
Not everyone is lucky enough to have a world famous classical theatre company on their doorstep but at least they go out and about to spread the word and the drama. This site has all the latest information on current and future productions. www.rsc.org.uk
Teach Yourself books
I defy you not to find something that will interest you here. As well as how to get published, sorting out your writing style and how to get on a TV show, there's loads more! Want to learn beekeeping, how to run a marathon, French, flirting? It's all here. www.teachyourself.co.uk
The Society of Authors
Works to protect the rights and further the interests of authors. Well worth joining. They help you with all sorts of queries, no matter how trivial (as long as it relates to the business of writing). They also offer confidential, individual vetting of contracts (and help with professional disputes) to members. www.societyofauthors.org
Maverick Television
A brilliant tv and media production company (How To Look Good Naked, 10 Years Younger, Embarrassing Illnesses, Trade Secrets, Bizarre ER, The Buying Game). Without them there wouldn't be books, with my name on them, in the British Library. www.mavericktv.co.uk
... a trouble halved
They designed this website... not only does it look good but it's a joy to use (especially if you are a techno-phobe dinosaur who'd much prefer vellum and ink as the preferred form of communication). And they do loads more: graphic design, website design, digital media, internal marketing & something called business solutions; they may even do vellum and ink solutions; I should have asked them. But go to their website and see how fabulous they are. www.athdesign.co.uk

Quote of the Week
I probably get 10-15 unsolicited manuscripts a week that are just addressed to 'Dear Editor'... I just delete them straight away. As editors, we're looking for a reason to say 'No' because we've got so much to do. If you address somebody by their name, it shows the editor that at least you've done some sort of research...
