The news is that the anthology 'manuscript' has been delivered to our printers, Gipping Press, quotations have been received and one has been accepted whilst the cover design will be confirmed too. Suffice to say there are twenty-five different authors, both current and former regulars who, between them, have provided some forty short stories and poems. Likely to go on sale at a meagre fiver a time we hope it will be a sell out!
This will be available just prior to the Felixstowe Book Festival and also be on sale at Stillwater Books. Make sure you get your copy/copies!
Bookings for the Microfiction Workshop - which is a flash fiction event - are struggling at present so we ask that, if you are interested in this form of fun writing, you book your tickets for the event which takes place on Sunday 2nd July in the Furneaux Suite at the Orwell Hotel, Felixstowe. The workshop will be facilitated by Dave Feakes, Chairman of the Scribblers. The event starts at 10.45 and runs until 12 noon.
We hear that the next Ipswich Writers' Cafe takes place at La Tour Cycle Cafe on Monday 19th June with a 7.30pm start
Tonight's meeting at Scribblers provided Mairead with a platform for her ongoing work towards her novel. It was discussed at length and hopefully the feedback she received will help her towards the finished work.
There were several other stories on the homework theme, 'Unrequited Love' and all excelled in their characterisation and plot lines. Another fantastic evening!
Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 20th June in the Room at the Top. This will be a flash fiction event based on a photograph or postcard - so please bring one along to get shuffled into the hat before one, other than your own, can be selected as a prompt for a short story. Always good fun!
