The <a href="http://sayitrightwriterscircle.blogspot.co.uk/"><span style="color: red;">Say It Right Writers Circle</span></a> was born on 1st January 2014. For the next 12
months 5 writers took it in turns to pick monthly themes to work on. Every
month we wrote 700ish words each. These short pieces were shared among the
circle and then published online. Our writing could be about anything as long
as it somehow related to the monthly theme and covered a variety of fiction,
poetry and non-fiction.</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

This anthology contains the material produced by the circle. It contains 5
distinct voices exploring topics as diverse as sport and work to spirituality
and rebellion. Collecting over 60 unique pieces of writing, the anthology is
equal parts thoughtful and irreverent, humorous and emotionally charged. It
shows 5 writers learning their craft, finding new ways to be creative and
celebrating a DIY approach to culture. And, with each piece a manageable
length, it's the perfect escapism for your tea break or daily commute.</span></span><br />
