| The Hampshire Writers’ Society is pleased to announce the publication of a new volume in its Anthology series. The first volume in this series appeared as a print publication in 2015: Anthology of the Best of 2011-2014, compiled and edited by Barbara Large and Celia Livesey, with a foreword by Barbara Large. Now in 2025 as an electronic publication we have the following: The Hampshire Writers’ Society: The Best of 2014-2017, edited by Gemma Pulley, with a foreword by Gary Farnell. For his technical advice and support in the preparation of this volume, Gemma and Gary would like to thank Mark Eyles. This new e-book contains reports on HWS monthly meetings from September 2014 to June 2017, with some of the winning entries in the monthly writing competitions, along with the adjudicators’ comments where available. Preparations are already underway for The Best of 2017-2020, and comments and remarks on the 2014-2017 volume will be gratefully received as part of these ongoing preparations. Please email inquiries@hampshirewriterssociety.co.uk to contribute. This new Anthology is freely available as an e-publication: to access your copy, please click on the link here. We are currently investigating a print version. If you are interested then please complete the form here.

Hampshire Writers’ Society at the Winchester Writers’ Festival Book Fair 2015
It was another fantastic year for the Winchester Writers’ Festival. Hampshire Writers’ Society had a stand in the Book Fair as usual and made many new contacts as well as catching up with quite a few of our members and past speakers. Becky Bagnell of the Lindsay Literary Agency wished us well for the future.
Also, Judith Heneghan, Festival Director, stopped by for a chat. She went on to draw the winning ticket for a year’s free membership for the fifth season starting September 2015 until June 2016. The lucky winner was newly joined member Sue Davies. Congratulations Sue, we are all thrilled at the news.
Congratulations too, to our own Louise Morrish, another winner of our free membership competition for next season. Keep watching the website for the full programme and details of the competitions.
This year the Society were proud to present their anthology, ‘The Best of 2011 – 2014’ which highlights reports, winners and adjudications over the first three years. I’m delighted to say it is selling like ‘hotcakes’ and we are halfway through our limited edition already, so please make sure you order your copy for £7.95 from the Membership Secretary on membership.hws@hotmail.co.ukWe look forward to welcoming you all back again in September.
