Pens of the Earth

Our latest transfer of funds to HIWWT for the Solent Seagrass Restoration Project brings our grand total to just over £4000!

Thanks to all of you who have supported us in making this milestone figure!

The Kindle ebook of Wild Seas, Wilder Cities is now available from Amazon.co.uk.

We’ve just transferred £1,620 to HIWWT for the Solent Seagrass Restoration Project – the amount we raised at our launch from sales of tickets, books and litter art. Give yourselves all a pat on the back!

But we’re not done yet: the book has only just found its way into the world and needs your help to branch out. Christmas is on its way (I know, I know) so why not get a copy for a friend or family member?

Thanks to everyone who came to our book launch. If you weren’t able to make it (or just fancy reliving some of the highlights) Jackie Green has written up a report of the evening  here.

This is to regretfully announce that nine sponsors who helped fund the publication of Wild Seas, Wilder Cities via our Crowdfunder were not acknowledged in the book due to an administrative error. This will be rectified in our forthcoming ebook and any future editions of the paperback.

In the meantime we’d like to express our deep gratitude to the following sponsors:

• Jackie Arnold
• Janet Brown
• Carol Dowie
• Martine Egan
• Sue Harper
• Gail and Jon Loose
• Loree Westron
• Ruth Wilkinson
• Sandra Wilkinson & Jeremy Pack
• And also those sponsors who chose to remain anonymous.

We’ve published four poems that were commended in our ‘Community’ competition. You can read them here.

Our Instagram page has been rejuvenated, under the discerning eye of Peter Brown, one of the artists contributing to our book. You can check it out here.

Our book Wild Seas, Wilder Cities will arrive on 21st October! How do you get your copy?

• Come to our launch, where it will be available for the special price of £10.
• Pre-order from the award-winning Pigeon Books in Portsmouth (for collection or delivery). Price £10.99.
• After our launch, buy from another independent bookshop (up to date list here) or buy the ebook from the usual places.

Our 2024 Annual Report is now available to read. It’s been a busy year!

Thanks to everyone who entered our ‘community’ competition. The judges have made their verdicts, and the results are now available here!
