Thanks to Jessica for sharing details of this upcoming event. Ed
Local charity Independent Arts is proud to announce the launch of The Anonthology, the first collection of work created by its Young Writers group.
The group, now known as The Anon Writers, started in February 2016 
has given budding writers aged 16-25 the opportunity to gain advice, support and feedback on their work.
Supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England, the Young Writers sessions have covered a broad range of topics including flash fiction, micro fiction, writing poetry, starting a blog, performing your work, planning a novel, getting published and pitching to magazines.
Writers have been encouraged to contribute pieces to the Anon Writers blog throughout the project, and have also worked collaboratively to produce an anthology where they explore flash fiction, poetry, the future and pop culture.
Book launch
Independent Arts is delighted to invite members of the public to the official book launch of the Anonthology at Waterstones in Newport on Saturday 24th September to celebrate the talent of local young writers and hear spoken word performances.
Doors open at 6pm with spoken word performances taking place from 6.30pm.
Jessica Paine, Project Manager at Independent Arts
“I am so proud of what this group have achieved in such a short space of time. The Anonthology is full of creativity and imagination with a diverse range of styles. We are launching the book on Isle of Wight Day to celebrate the fantastic talent we have here on the Island.”
