THE TRACE INTERNATIONAL ONLINE WRITING COMMUNITY

Is it a fact, or have I dreamt it that, by means of electricity, the
world of matter has become a great nerve, vibrating thousands of miles
in a breathless point of time? (Nathaniel Hawthorne 1804-1864)

SUCCESS!
We're delighted to announce that our bid to the Arts Council of England
Arts for Everyone Scheme has been successful. We have been awarded
356,621 UK pounds over a three-year period in order to set up the trAce
International Online Writing Community, a pioneering project designed to
benefit writers and readers around the world. We will be working with
The Broadway Media Centre and East Midlands Arts to make this one of the
most significant UK-based internet communities yet devised.

Information about the project can be found at
http://human.ntu.ac.uk/foh/ems/ema.html where there is also an online
form to help us keep you informed as the project develops. Please tell
us about yourself and your writing interests.

If you are unable to access the www, you will find the same content at
the end of this email.

All enquiries should go to Sue Thomas at the address at the end of this
email.

We hope you will want to join us and look forward to working with you.

ensure that every area of the reading and writing community in the East
Midlands has some input into the development of this exciting and
innovative project.
