The First Ever SWC Anthology
It’s an anthology of new and original stories and poems celebrating some of the finest Sunday Writers’ Club writing. But it’s also a useful creative writing handbook, maybe helping you kickstart your own stories and poems.
The anthology clocks in at just under 200 pages. Inside you will find 25 authors: 9 pieces of ‘Espresso’ writing, 14 pieces of ‘Latte’ writing, and even 2 stories taken from our massively popular Secret Santa Story Share festivities.
To reflect our world-famous SWC Prompt Menus we’ve divided the collection into 2 main sections – for writing inspired by Espresso prompts (quick hits of inspiration) and Latte prompts (longer-lasting imaginative ideas). But we’ve also included over 70 creative writing prompts taken from dozens of menus throughout the book, making it a valuable tool for writers old and new.
We’ve entitled the anthology Sunday Writers’ Club: Best of Vol. 1. We like that it sounds a bit rock ‘n’ roll!
You can buy a copy right here – either a gorgeous physical copy to carry with you everywhere and give as a gift, or a PDF version to read on your tablet, phone and computer.

The Book Launch
Sunday 24th September 2023.
We launched our anthology with style, gusto and glamour at Pickwicks International Pub in Vienna’s 1st District.
The venue in the heart of the city was the perfect venue for our special hybrid event – their big screen allowed as many anthology contributors as possible to take part. Not only did we enjoy readings from those with us in Vienna, but enthusiastic SWCers from across Europe were also able to share their freshly published stories and poems with the literature-loving audience.
