Twitter Titters Comic Relief Book. Including Me.

A bit of good news on the writing front. Ususally when I send a story out, it pings right back with a "Thank you for submitting your story but ...." This time, the only but(t) was mine doing a little celebratory dance. I'm glad you couldn't see.

One of my stories was selected to go into a comedy book to raise money for Comic Relief. Comic Relief , for those not in the UK, is an annual fund raising day. Children dress up to go to school and wear red noses. There are sponsored events all over the country and a telethon all evening. It's been going since 1985 and raises millions every year.

This is what the organisers of the book, who have worked incredibly hard to get it out so quickly, say.

'TwitterTitters - A tweetin’ hilarious collection of new comedy writing, selected to raise money for Comic Relief. Includes foreword by Chelsey: OMG! Writer Nat Coombs and exclusive new writing by Phoenix Nights co-creator Dave Spikey. TwitterTitters is a project by an independent group of fundraisers for Red Nose Day 2009'.

So I was chuffed to be selected and doubly chuffed that it's for a good cause. And I was super chuffed when I heard that Calistro also has a story in the book. When my copy arrives I may just go and sit in the busiest cafe, read it and laugh very loudly. People will be so intruiged they will have to find out what I'm reading and buy it themselves. Or they will alert the management and I'll be escorted off the premises. Either way, it's all for charidee.
