Another Girls' Night In?

Posted on: Thursday, June 26, 2008

It's over a decade since Jessica Adams, Fiona Walker and I came up with the idea of putting together an anthology to raise money for War Child, the humanitarian organisation that helps children affected by war all over the world.  The Girls' Night In series was a great success, raising more than a million, which funded projects in Rwanda, Kosovo and Afghanistan.  Now plans are afoot for a tenth anniversary edition to be published by Penguin in Australia.  Watch this space!
