Publications The Circle has produced several publications since it was
formed in 1993. Some of these have achieved national acclaim. In the 2011 national awards by the Writers’ News and the
David St John Thomas Charitable Trust, our latest book, Pick and Mix, won the Best Writers’ Circle
Anthology cup and
also the Winner of Winners shield
as the best publication in all classes.
It also won a Runners-up certificate in the NAWG national competition. This follows our success in the same competition in 1994 when
our very first book won the Best Writers' Circle Anthology. The 2006 anthology, “Hidden Depths” was short-listed for the NAWG prize Click on an image for more information: |
