A PUBLISHER is pleading for Petts Wood people to pick up a pen and produce poetry.

United Press Ltd is producing a National Poetry Anthology and wants to include a piece of work by a wordsmith from Petts Wood.

It is inviting writers from the area to each submit three unpublished poems, with one being chosen to feature in the anthology.

Peter Quinn, the editor of the anthology, said: “We want the new edition to include a winner from every town and village in the News Shopper circulation area.”

For a chance to have your work in the anthology, send your three poems to United Press Ltd, Admail 3735, London, EC1B 1JB, by June 30.
