CIE Writers

CIE Writer is a group of CIE employees who write and publish short stories, essays and poems. Our last publication was "There's Love And There's Sex And There's The 46A", the work of fifteen writers, which was well received. We are looking for new contributors (who work, or have worked, for the CIE group of companies), with a view to publishing another collection and anybody with a literary leaning can sent their submission to ciewriters@gmail.com
