Last year I joined Writers Abroad, an online group comprised of ex-pat writers. We’re living in countries around the world, all settled away from our homelands. I’m enjoying the community and also benefitting from sharing information and critiquing work with my fellow writers.

So I’m pleased to announce that Writers Abroad are planning our 2011 Anthology based on the general theme of food, drink and cooking from around the world. It’s entitled Foreign Flavours. Anyone who is, or has been, an ex-pat is welcome to submit fiction and non-fiction to this publication for consideration. All profits made from the publication of the anthology will be donated to charity. Acclaimed author, Alexander McCall Smith, has agreed to write our foreword.
