I’ve been a member of the online writing community Writers Abroad for the last year. It’s a privilege to join such a talented group of writers who currently live as expatriates or have had the experience of living overseas. I first learnt about the group from writer Susan Carey when we both had stories published during the first National Flash Fiction Day celebrations in 2012. I started following Susan’s blog and in 2013 she posted an open call for submissions to Foreign Encounters a Writers Abroad anthology inspired by chance or planned meetings. I wrote a story about living in Papua New Guinea and was pleased to have this published alongside other short stories, non-fiction and poetry.
Writers Abroad now approaches its tenth anniversary and to celebrate a decade of online critiquing, feedback, networking and shared motivation, we’re releasing a new anthology Far Flung. This showcases writing by past and present members of the group whose portraits appear on the collage below.
Far Flung includes poetry, non-fiction and fiction from writers based across the world. For a stimulating and varied reading experience, place your pre-order now for the kindle edition of Far Flung which will be released on 31 October 2020. A paperback will follow. With a foreword from Peter May and all proceeds going to the World Literacy Foundation, what’s not to like?
You’ll notice a copyright free image of Durdle Door to represent Dorset on the cover. Where else to you recognise?

This anthology sounds very cool, Gail. And what a wonderful community to be involved with! Congratulations to all 🙂
