Carnegie-nominated Sue Mayfield worked with two groups of students who met in inspirational spaces for extended creative writing workshops.

University of Gloucestershire Illustration undergraduates then responded to the students’ brief to create the art work for the front cover and the Anthology was launched at our local bookshop, The Suffolk Anthology.
