On Monday 5th September, members gathered to read out and submit their entries for the fifth and final of our Writer of the Year 2011 competitions. Our challenge was to write an autobiographical piece, based on a photograph of our own choosing. As may be expected, we were all taken on trips down Memory Lane, seeped in bittersweet nostalgia. These provided moving glimpses into childhoods - both idyllic and troubled, family history, traumatic teens, adult heroics and seaside sagas. We look forward to feedback from local social history author, Victoria Seymour, who will deliver her verdict on 3rd October.
Chairperson Monica Percy, writing as Monica Tracey, will be launching her new book ‘Left of the Moon’ at the popular Books Born in Hastings event on 8th October at the Town Hall. At the same time, we will also be launching our latest group publication ‘Ghost Writers – 20 Spooky Tales for Dark Nights’, which will help fundraise for local Young Carers. Additionally, several other members will have their books for sale on our stall. Do come along and have a look!
