East Dulwich Writers' Group Anthology published

[Debi]

To celebrate 10 years of the East Dulwich Writers' Group, we've published an anthology consisting of short stories, novel extracts and poems by 18 members of EDWG. The title, Hoovering the Roof, was chosen by a poll publicised on this forum and elsewhere. Some of the contributors are published authors, some yet-to-be, and we have at least 2 people who are winners of prestigious competitions. This eclectic collection reflects the diversity of the EDWG members and should contain something for everyone. Ideal as a seasonal gift!

The book will be available from next week at local bookshops and online at Amazon or via our website (with a discount). See www.edwg.co.uk for details.

We're holding a launch event at the Crow on the Hill bookshop next Thur (see What's On for details).

To be entered into a lucky dip to win a copy of the book signed by all the contributors, please email me at [email protected]

Hot off the press! I've just had an email saying the books have arrived - earlier than expected, which is great news.

We'll be getting them in bookshops over the next few days but meanwhile you can order copies with a ?1 discount via our website as above.

Or better still - come to one of the launch events. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?6,369549

Congratulations!

Thanks, guys. Last night we finally held copies of the book in our hot little hands. And it's great - a real celebration of the creative writing talent alive and well in this little corner of SE London.

Hope we see lots of you at the launch events at the Bookseller Crow on the Hill on Thursday and next Monday at Dulwich Library. See What's On for details.

And you can order the book online at www.edwg.co.uk

We've had 2 very successful launch events and sold 19 copies of Hoovering the Roof at the Bookseller Crow on the Hill last week and another 11 at the Dulwich Library event on Monday. We're planning further events in the new year.

We'll be selling the anthology and other books and music by EDWG members on a stall in North Cross Road this Saturday 10.30-3.00 and for the next 2 Saturdays. Our resident musician, Dan Maitland, will be popping over for some lively busking. Feel free to come along and say hello. (And buy a copy of the book, of course. Did I mention what a great seasonal gift it would make?)

If you can't make it to the stall, the book is now available at all the local bookshops, via our website www.edwg.co.uk and on Amazon.
