Two speakers listen and answer questions, one woman with short black hair and glasses in a black t-shirt and jeans. Another with long brown hair, a cream jacket, black top and trousers.

Writers listen and engage with TLC's Industry Day. An audience sits on racked seating listening to a woman with long brown curly hair in a striped shirt and blue jeans.

All of our work is championed by our board and would not be possible without our Editors, freelancers, and workshop leaders. Photos here from TLC's Industry Day, offered as part of the Chapter and Verse mentorship programme. #MeetTLC
