Alex Shoumatoff is publishing work from two of Abroad Writers’ Conference participants

Two participants from our recent conference at Hever Castle, have submitted their work for publication to Alex Shoumatoff’s site, DispatchesFromTheVanishingWorld.com. In addition, he is also working with the Moore Family on their multigenerational family saga, the subsistence farmer grandpa, Woody the mechanic and preacher, and James the writer. These stories will be written in sections by Woody and James– a first in the genre, which takes writing back to the collective self-expression it began as, and away from the myth of originality and the ego trip that writers today can fall prey to.

Alex says, “I think you’re doing something really great, when you think of all the different sensibilities, some sophisticated, some not, that you brought together and how we all bonded with our common love of the written word.”
