Thursday Nights: Short Fiction Celebrating 40 years of Tindal Street Fiction Group Tindal Street Fiction Group celebrates 40 years in 2023. It's not just any writing group, though - it's truly extraordinary. Made up of accomplished writers, its members down the years include Booker and Orange prize long-listees, best-sellers, winners of several awards including the Tom-Gallon award, a Shirley Jackson award and the Prix du Premier Roman Etranger, and appearances in several Best British Short Stories anthologies. Thursday Nights is a snapshot of work from the group today, which meets fortnightly in Birmingham on Thursday evening. The 14 stories and novel extracts in this collection are the work of current members, all local writers with eyes on the world. The stories travel from Birmingham to India, via San Francisco and Italy, stretching from the 19th century to the modern day. From the writing group that gave birth to regional publishing powerhouse Tindal Street Press in the 1990s, look inside these pages and join us on the latest adventure in our long and storied journey.
