Flight: An Anthology of New Writing: Pt. 1

“The Flight” anthology is the culmination of a mentoring programme run by London literature agency, spread the word. Out of nearly forty applications from novelists, poets, performers, short story writers, playwrights and screen writers, aged 18-24 years from across London, the contributors to this anthology were selected and paired with established writers in relevant genres as mentors. The result is this, the first “Flight” anthology – edited by emerging young editors, Niall O’Sullivan and Jacob Sam-La Rose of flipped eye publishing – a treasure chest of wonderful new writing: funny and honest, magical and moving, from seven exceptional young writers. All of them were born, or are based, in London but their roots spread across the globe from Eritrea, Sri Lanka and Nigeria to Jamaica and Carlisle.
