Hi Phyllida – nice to hear from another writing group!
I’ve posted your information under ‘Why enter a short story competition”, as there’s much more chance of it being read there than on our ‘About’ page. But that means that automatic links to your details don’t work, so you may want to comment on my comment, if that makes sense?
Good luck with the book.

Good evening Ninevoices!
I am writing on behalf of Trinity Theatre Club in Tunbridge Wells. We are looking to get the word out about a new writing drama festival we are planning later this year.
I couldn’t find any contact details on the website here, so wondered if you might be interested in getting in touch and talking more!
Best wishes,
Mike (TTC Studio)
