The Allrighters started writing on June 2010 following a bad dream at 3.00 am in France while on holiday. They set a target of writing a million words in three years and passed this target in January 2014. Plan A has always been to produce a series of well written and produced fiction and non fiction books and as a minimum put them on our book shelf simply for pleasure and satisfaction.
The million word target has proved a good distraction to thoughts of early publishing. A small book of short stories was published, as an e book and in hard copy, in September 2013 for the Tenby Festival and in response to a challenge from a friend "You will never write a book" YWNWAB!
The main Allrighters web site was set up in July 2013. Since completing the million draft words in July the hard work of self editing and restructuring these words into small 18,000 word books has started.
Douglas Burcham of the Allrighters writes a monthly blog on the TIPM web site run by Mick Rooney who saved the Allrighters from the clutches of Vanity Publishers in the summer of 2010. The posts are made under the same title as this post.

In July 2014 a peacock was recruited from the garden of the Cross family home in Norfolk England to show off the Allrighters.
Good writing and reading to you all.
