Author Description

"Tell Tales: Volume 3" is the third collection from the "Tell Tales" initiative, edited by Julia Bell (author of "Massive" and co-editor of the bestselling "Creative Writing Coursebook") and Nii Ayikwei Parkes (writer, editor and co-founder of the Tell Tales initiative). "Tell Tales: Volume III" demonstrates the incredible breadth and quality of contemporary writing in the UK. With strong contributions from veterans such as 100-story-guru Nicholas Royle and Pushcart Prize-nominated Kay Sexton as well as newcomers like Carolyn Thompson, Nat Illumine and Susmita Bhattacharya; the collection embraces the gritty realism of Mick Scully, with as much ease as the surreal vision of Niki Aguirre. Third in a series of annual anthologies, "Tell Tales III", like its predecessors, enchants and shocks in equal measure.
