I look forward to your contributions.<\/p>\n<p>I think the showcase pieces are a great asset to the Alpha repertory. It\u2019s good for us to see and appreciate the creative work our members are capable of producing and at the same time give some helpful feedback.<\/p>\n<p>We need more showcase pieces from you. Do send your contributions to Suzanne who\u2019ll send them out for our perusal at regular intervals.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s have a good writerly year together.
