Our first book!
Our first collection of short stories was published in April 2021
For the year before it was published, our writing group met regularly, first in person then virtually, sharing and discussing our stories as they developed. We encouraged each other to get to the finish line.
The short stories from Table 52 Writers cover an eclectic mix of themes dealing with a wide range of human experience. From the tragic and moving to the uplifting and humorous, each story sprang from the vivid imagination of the storyteller. The result is a diverse and thought-provoking collection, bringing to life an innocent young girl, a grieving man and his talking dog, an outrageous romantic, an ambitious film director, a tormented bus driver, an imperfect family, a disillusioned wife, a Turkish chorister in London, and a callous town gossip.

"I was expecting what teachers like to call “good work”, but these stories are the real thing. They are moving, funny, absorbing, poignant and thought-provoking."
Tony Kirwood, writer and teacher
