Ruth Thomason visited The Quarry to discus her journey into writing and the challenges of producing her first book, Poole of Light.

Well, this year the Guernsey Literary Festival is hosting a short story anthology competition for Bailiwick writers, which invites submissions under the theme "Time and Tide."
