Autumn Colours Authors

These writers are the winners from two competitions run by the Museum of Walking and Sampson Low Publishers whose works have been published in two illustrated anthologies: “Canopy” and “Autumn Colours”. The competition required writers to compose poems or stories of 250 words and under. This contributor list features writers from ‘Autumn Colours’ - please click here to see the authors of ‘Canopy’.

To wrap up the festival, the writers are showcasing their work in this event, so please join us in showing your support! You can also purchase a copy of the anthology here, as well as the upcoming Canopy here, with all proceeds going towards supporting the future development of the Urban Tree Festival.
