| Llanfair Caereinion Writers'
Group |
The Llanfair Caereinion Writers’ Group have published
their first anthology, Branching Out, and report that
it was a ‘mostly enjoyable’ experience.
The group’s members come from all walks of life and have
a considerable age range from teens to a lady in her eighties.
It is self-supporting and the encouragement of the members drives
the group to improve their writing skills. Branching Out
was a natural progression and contains a mix of stories, poetry
and prose, most of which have come from the regular meetings.
‘It was a steep learning curve for us,’ said member
Christine Williams. ‘We held a coffee morning to raise
the money to produce the anthology and had to make decisions
about what to include, how to present the pieces and which printer
to use. It has given us an insight into the difficulties of
producing printed books.’
The group asked local author, Mary Oldham, to launch the anthology
which has sold well with twenty percent of the cover price going
to The Emergency Disaster Committee.
Copies of the book are available at £4.99 plus
80p p&p from Christine Williams, Maes-Y-Nant, Llanfair Caereinion,
Welshpool, Powys SY21 0EE; e-mail: maesynant@aol.com
