The goal of this project is to publish the best of Wayne Milstead's writing.

Wayne died suddenly and unexpectedly in February 2023. He left behind a large collection of short fiction, two novels and a book on creative writing.

Three of his short stories have been published widely but for the last decade his focus has been on mentoring writers, so there are a large number of short stories that were never submitted for publication.

We want to undertake this body of work, to gather together his contemporaries at UEA and the many writers who are proud to be Wayne's peers and students.

We want to take time to catalogue his output and work through all of his writing. The object is to edit where necessary and then publish the best of his writing.
