Scary tales

By John Humphries, Aug 2011

SHIVERS front coverA writers group, St Leonards Writers, has just published two anthologies.

They are: Driftwood (tales from the Sussex seaside) and Shivers (Sussex scary tales), £2.50 ea.

‘We’ve been writing all these great stories about St Leonards, scary ones and seafaring yarns and touching tales’, says Jonathan Broughton. ‘Our group meets for weekly lectures, workshops, creative exercises, writing practice, discussions and constructive criticism under the guidance of elected group members or guest speakers. The purpose of the meetings is to encourage creative writing – all sorts of writing.

We also perform at local events. We aim to produce annual themed anthologies of members’ writing. At the meetings we read out our writing for feedback from the team.’
