Following an especially busy period for Fincham Press, we are excited to share the first of two surprises this summer. Here we reveal details of our fifth anthology of creative writing: In Which Dragons Are Real But.
This fifth anniversary publication marks the occasion with two firsts in Fincham’s history. This collection is the first to include work by University of Roehampton alumni alongside that by current Creative Writing students. It is also the first time we have published original illustrations in full colour. Different forms are showcased in 47 pieces; often dark in theme, but also funny and thought-provoking.
Check out a sneak peek of the cover (above) and the table of contents (below)! The collection is edited by award-winning author Leone Ross. An official launch will take place at the University of Roehampton in late 2018 – follow Fincham Press on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for further details.
