A SET of scribes forged from three writing groups have compiled a literary anthology inspired by one of their town’s richest assets.

Deben Tide is the result of collaboration by three Woodbridge groups with a passion for writing and a desire to showcase their work.

Contributors include a historian, a retired professor, a lifeguard and a baker - all inspired by the river.

Deben Tide is the first from Breathing River Publishing, run by a working committee of six, including H.E. Ross, who said: “A few of us started talking about putting out a book, pulling our talents together, and it snowballed from there.”

The anthology costs �5.50 from breathingri- verpublishing.co.uk or selected outlets in the Woodbridge area.
