Words from the Hub 2-Extra Tasks and Other Stories.
Here we go with another eclectic mix of work by a variety of writers and artists. And including members of the creative writing group, Words on Wednesday, based at Swindon Hub.
A book launch
Members of a local creative writing group, Words on Wednesday, invite everyone to join them in celebrating the launch of the second book in their anthology series. It’s entitled Words from the Hub 2 – Extra Tasks and Other Stories.
Matt Holland, founder of Swindon Artswords and the Swindon Festival of Literature, wrote the foreword to the book. In it he described it as, ‘Writing that is authentic, sincere, raw, and readable.’ This colourful little book includes poems and prose by twenty-two writers. An it features twelve illustrations by local artists.
Matt is an avid supporter of local writers and he’s taken time out of his busy schedule to be compere at the book launch. He will be joined by Stuart Lloyd Gould, a published writer in his own right, and the main sponsor of the book. Without access to his publishing company, The Anxiety Society Publishing Proprietary, this publication wouldn’t have been possible.
The short presentation will begin on Wednesday 11th December at 10:30 am, with doors opening at 10:00 am, upstairs at Swindon Hub, concluding by 11:45 am.
All welcome!
All proceeds are being donated to Swindon Hub CIO Charity No. 1196338. With free light refreshments and great company, we hope to encourage book sales. At only £4 a book it will make a great stocking filler.

Words on Wednesday Creative Writing Group
Now a little bit about us. We’ve subtitled the anthology Extra Tasks and Other Stories, referring to prompts given to the creative writing group each week. There’s no pressure to complete tasks. But they often inspire wonderful, eclectic results. Co-facilitator, Sarah Young, says ‘Prompts are useful and helpful. But at the end of the day, you’re writing. And writing is something everyone can do.’ Thus demonstrating the inclusive, supportive nature of the Words on Wednesday group. Penni and Sarah, co-facilitators, would like to invite you to join us in celebrating the launch and find out more about this amazing, free, Swindon-based creative writing group.
