Attention all Fiction fans! All of our copies of the Northern Gravy Fiction anthology for both pre-orders and writers have now been posted! Caused a massive queue in the post office, but they’ll be with you all shortly! Dont forget to let us know when they arrive!

Today’s Saturday poem chosen by our poetry editor Ralph Dartford comes from Jackie Kay.

It’s been a brave battle trying to get funding, but ultimately it just wasn’t to be. This is not the end, but a new beginning. I hope you’ll consider sailing on to new horizons with us.

It may have been bad news this week about our funding, but stuff like this will ALWAYS make me immensely proud of the work we’ve done so far, and the impact we’ve had.

An emotional moment and an end of an era!

We will be continuing our Northern Gravy Saturday Series (witty gravy based pun name pending), for now, we wanted to share with you a poem by former poetry editor Ralph Dartford’s Saturday Special.
