Pen Pal Tales

By Terry Dickson, Pen Pals Publishing (contributing authors listed), Emma Astra

"Pen Pals" is a group of individuals with diverse backgrounds and life experiences who came together through a shared love of creative writing. The group is inclusive of genders and ages, reflecting a rich tapestry of diverse voices and perspectives.
Anthology Book One by Pen Pals
This small volume includes creative writing pieces by nine Leicester writers from various backgrounds. Ultimately, it is a book about life.
The works included are, not surprisingly, as varied as the writers themselves. There are poems about subjects such as boots, the importance of smiling, and wheelie bins, among others. There are stories dealing with such diverse topics as the exploitation of innocent kindness, the careers of fantasy heroines, coming to terms with the loss of a friend in childhood, and a dystopian society's treatment of 'curing' non-conformity. Plus, an article on the importance of the late Leicester writer Sue Townsend.
Everything in this book may not appeal to everyone's taste, but hopefully, those who read it will find something that resonates, makes them laugh, or even brings them to tears. That's life, indeed. The book also includes insight into the authors' backgrounds and a 'what creative writing means to us' section at the end, which aims to inspire and explore the positive impact of creative writing.
Pen Pal Publishing currently use a model they developed. That is to utilise Amazon as the traditional 'print house' and 'bookseller', which makes books affordable and accessible to readers. All authors contribute to the publishing process, hence the name 'Pen Pal Publishing'.
We hope to bring out subsequent volumes of 'Pen Pal Tales' in the future.
