I am so thrilled to announce that I finally get to share a TOC with the amazing #NeilGaiman!
Eclectic Dreams, A Milford Anthology is a book that collects some of the amazing fiction that has come out of this long-running workshop over its many years of its existence (including one of my favourite stories, my fellow 2019 resident Tiffani Angus ‘s “Mama Leaf”). Apart from Neil and Tiffani, other contributors include the wonderful Jacey Bedford , Val Nolan, David Langford and many others. You can read a great review here – https://www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2023/3/13/eclectric-dreams-the-milford-anthology-edited-by-j-w-anderson-pete-w-sutton-and-liz-williams
Proceeds from this book will fund Milford’s bursary scheme for writers of colour and financially disadvantaged writers. Thank you so much to Liz Williams , Pete Sutton and Jim Anderson for all your work to make this happen!
