As we mentioned in our post yesterday we’ve been busy selecting pieces from our members for the second West Lothian Writers Anthology. Now we have a finished the process we thought we would share the list and hopefully wet your appropriate for the book when it launches in November. Before that let’s talk about the title because we have one. Check below to find out what it is!

When the editorial plan – Anne, Eric, Norman, Sally and Stephen – were talking about titles we want something that connected to the From the Purple Notebook – our first anthology – but also tied into a clear theme that was emerging from all the worked selected which was journeys or travelling. After lots of suggestions, ideas and cups of coffee Sally suggested A Well Traveled Notebook which did everything we wanted it to do. We hope you like it as well.
