Thanet Writers is proud to announce the release of our first anthology: Shoal. Edited by Alice Olivia Scarlett with a foreword by David Lee Stone, Shoal features twenty-three short stories from Thanet writers and authors.

“Before I joined Thanet Writers, I naively thought that I was the only writer in the area. I had no idea that there was this amazing community. Since then I’ve seen the authors and poets of the area blossom in every way, and that’s because of the people involved, who are coming together to support each other. I have never seen a more welcoming and nurturing community than the creative people of Thanet. On behalf of Thanet Writers, I am humbled to have the opportunity to share just a fraction of some of the fantastic talent that’s on display on the Isle. We’re very proud to share our first Thanet Writers anthology: Shoal.”

David Rowden, Thanet Writers CIC Director
