This month’s showcase is selected by Helen Aitchison. Hailing from the north-east of England, Helen combines writing with her work as the director of a Community Interest Company, ’Write On The Tyne’, which provides creative writing courses and mentoring with a focus on engaging marginalised people in the area. Helen also teaches for her local council, is a freelance writer for Story Terrace and an on-line journalist for Radio Gateshead.

The pieces selected by Helen are

• The Strange Magic Of New Beginnings, by Christian Ward

• After Print, by Viv Fogel

• A snippet from Duty, a memoir by Jeff Stephenson

• Enough by Helen Aitchison

The pieces are read by Chris Gregory and Sally Walker-Taylor and introduced by Helen Aitchison. After Print is part of the poetry collection Imperfect Beginnings, published by Fly On The Wall Press. It is available from Amazon and good bookshops.
