Rowntree Park - Words from a Bench
|
The Words From a Bench project, was designed to bring stories from new writers into the community. Hosted at Rowntree Park, York and set up by Editor, Karen Green, and Blogger, Cath Mortimer. The project invited submissions from local authors and then linking the best of these submissions to QR codes, which were located on benches around the park. Readers could take a stroll, sit at a bench and access a unique piece of poetry or prose at each bench.
The project started in November 2013 and finished after it's eighth run of publications. After its launch it partnered with a similar project in Reykjavik, Iceland and by the end of the project Icelandic writers were featured in amongst the publications in York and the York writers were published on benches in Reykjavik. The pieces can be accessed at the Friends of Rowntree Park wordpress site. Why not go visit now for a host of free reads. |

Christmas Lites
This charity anthology was released in December of 2013. All money raised was sent to a charity against domestic violence (http://ncadv.org) and the stories themselves were given a Xmas theme with the hope of brightening the holiday season for some of the people the charity helps.
I was very lucky to be invited to submit for this excellent cause. The anthology is an annual event put together by Amy Eye. Huge thanks to Amy for bringing me on board with this. Why not go grab a copy from Amazon to support this excellent cause.
