at the Royal Bath Hotel, Bournemouth
About the Event
An Author’s Perspective is a relaxed, practical coffee morning for writers at every stage.
Held on Saturday’s 10:30-12:30. Each month we welcome a guest — a published author, editor, publicist, bookseller or other industry professional — to share real‑world experience in a short, interactive session.
Expect take‑away tips you can use straight away, time for questions, and space to connect with fellow writers over coffee.
The Venue: The Royal Bath Hotel
Opened in 1838, the Royal Bath Hotel is one of Bournemouth’s most historic and storied landmarks. Perched above the seafront with views of the gardens and bay, the hotel has long attracted writers, artists and thinkers seeking inspiration by the sea.
The 1838 Lounge
Steeped in heritage and charm, the 1838 Lounge combines period elegance with contemporary comfort. With its high ceilings, soft lighting and relaxed atmosphere, it’s the perfect space to unwind, sip bubbles, and share stories.
This intimate lounge offers a welcoming space for readers and authors alike.
