  I’ve been deep into science and back again. I’ve always written for fun, to express myself and for the satisfaction of seeing ideas go down on paper. I wrote the second half of my novel first - as part of the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) 50,0000-words-in-a-month challenge and the next year I wrote the first half. The subsequent years were spent trying to make sense of it! Now “The Uncovering” is going to be published by Len’s publishing company, LMP. I write a journal every day and have done since I was a child - which was a long time ago - and this is a great source of ideas.

Emma was educated at Stevenage Girl's School. She loved English and was fortunate to have a teacher who encouraged her to write.

  Alan Davie is a retired Civil Engineer who moved to Letchworth in 1988 from North London.. He was pretty useless writer at school and didn’t write anything until the mid 1970’s, when, as a member of an amateur dramatic group, he wrote a play (more a ballet with words) for his first wife, which won the cup for the ‘best innovative play’ in a District competition. After this success, he wrote only a little for his own amusement, until he joined the Letchworth Writers Group in 2017, where he has learned so much and has tried to contribute a piece of writing every month.

I was born in deepest Essex but grew up in London. After finishing uni I spent my early adult life on the comedy circuit and writing for BBC Radio before, at a ridiculously late age, embarking on a career in IT. After several years of working in locations around the world, I emerged with an abiding hatred of airport security and mid-market hotel rooms. I took up writing again about three years ago and since then have completed my first novel and several short stories, joining LWG in 2019.

I live in Letchworth with my wife, son, and a dog called Zebedee.

Apart from an early novel written at the age of 13, Richard didn't start writing regularly until his 40s.  Since then writing has been a regular activity both for his work and for his own pleasure.  In the 1990s, research into his home town resulted in the publication of his book, Hitchin: A Pictorial History.  More recently his love of international motorcycle travel has led him to focus on travel writing.  He has written several travel articles and is currently working on a projected account of his overland journey to the Caspian Sea. He also writes short stories and poetry.  He and his wife were formerly owners of The Hitchin Bookshop.

" I love writing and feel the need to write something each day, usually to reflect and make sense of the world as it presents itself.Over the years, as time has allowed, I have been in a number of writing groups and have enjoyed sharing and appreciating the work of other writers.LAG has been a great experience since I joined early in 2020 and I was  pleased  to actually have work  published, along  with fellow  members,  in the LAG 2020 anthology.

I have always written, scribbled bits of poetry, short stories and essays. Usually cathartic, often introspective. And never shared. Until In 2011 I self published my first book ‘Brain Glue’. I had pulled out the box-from-under-the-bed that contained decades of my writing.... I sorted and transcribed hundreds of A4 and foolscap hand-written bits and pieces and writing that had been typed up on my Smith Corona portable typewriter that I got as a Christmas present in 1968. The first half of ‘Brain Glue’ was written circa and before 1981; the second half was written in and around 2011. Since then I have had published four books/ pamphlets: two of poetry and two of a mixture of writings.
