In conversation with June Webber, a "The Best of CafeLit 13" contributor


 

 

How did you first get to know CafeLit? 

Allison Symes, a friend I met at Swanwick, had already contributed stories to CafeLit.

 
What do you like about it?

The flexibility of genre and word count, and the fact that stories are usually accepted or rejected quickly.
 

Tell us a little about the story you have in the volume.

I live near Abbotsbury Swannery and had heard there were a pair of gay swans, so I added some dialogue and description and called it Swan Lake.

 
Why did you pick that particular drink? I chose sweet white wine, because it is the colour of swans, and a romantic story. 
 

Do you have a favourite “Creative Cafe”?  

I am pictured outside the Jazz Café next to the beach at Sandbanks, Poole.


What are you working on now?  

I am editing some letters from my father’s service in World War Two. I have started a novel.

 
Do you have any writing news? 

 My short play will be performed at Swanwick Writers Summer School in August.
