Local writers' group wins award

[Debi]

As you may know, East Dulwich Writers' Group has now produced two anthologies, Hoovering the Roof 1 and 2. Last year, HtR 1 was named as runner up in the National Association of Writers' Groups' anthology award.

At the NAWG Festival this weekend, it was announced that HtR 2 has won the award for 2011. This is fantastic news, both for the group as a whole and for the individual writers whose work was included in the anthology. It's taken an enormous amount of dedication, creativity and sheer hard work to produce such excellent books and this is great affirmation for us all.

Many thanks to those stalwarts (you know who you are) who worked so hard in producing, distributing and publicising the anthology, as well as organising and attending events. The books are available in most local bookshops as well as on Amazon. To buy a copy at a discount, please go to the EDWG site: http://sites.google.com/site/eastdulwichwritersgroup/shop

We've decided to take a break from HtR this year and will hopefully work towards another volume in 2012. Meanwhile, cunning plans are afoot to organise a flash fiction competition, which will be open to all writers. Watch this space.
