Newham Writers Workshop was founded in 1986 and has been supporting writers to grow and write their writing. This anthology is a showcase of our writers’ work. Poetry, short stories, essays, a book synopsis and the results of a writing exercise, can all to be found here. This is a product of our thriving workshop.
Whether read on the go or sitting back in a comfortable chair, this book is a treasure chest of different and inspiring writing, a chance to find a writer you have not heard of.
