Calling all Members
It is once again time for the recognition of the talent in our collective writing group.
In 2024, your words will be celebrated in a new OOTA Anthology ‘Listen!’
The theme is an open one.
It will be edited and produced by the OOTA Committee.
Dust off your stories, winkle out those poems, or create new ones and submit!
The closing date is 30 April 2024 and the entry form can be downloaded here.
