    About this ebook

    The Madrid Writers’ Club was founded in 2012 with the mission of helping writers achieve their writing goals. The club has run over 140 writing workshops and formed a vibrant community of English language writers in the heart of Spain. I’m proud to say that together we’ve created an atmosphere of mutual learning, support and respect where our writing and friendships flourish and grow.
    This is the first short fiction anthology by members of the Madrid Writers’ Club.

    Each of the ten stories are written to depict a main character travelling, either in flight or on a journey of self-discovery. Our authors hail from around the globe and are gathered here in their common love of writing stories.
