GIRLS' NIGHT IN IV
After the phenomenal success of the first three titles in this series (beginning with Girls' Night In) authors, editors and publishers around the world have decided to put together a new book - Girls' Night In IV (Girls' Night In II in America.)
With this new book, the series and its spin-offs for children (Kids' Night In) will have raised over 1 million pounds by the end of the year. This year, for the first time, No Strings will join War Child as a beneficiary of the project, spending the proceeds on a landmine awareness video campaign for children in Afghanistan.
In the UK, the editors are Jessica Adams, Maggie Alderson, Imogen Edwards-Jones and Chris Manby. The publisher is HarperCollins.
In the USA, the editors are Chris Manby, Carole Matthews and Sarah Mlnynowski. The publisher is Red Dress Ink.
In Australia, the editors are Jessica Adams, Maggie Alderson, Imogen Edwards-Jones and Nick Earls. The publisher is Penguin Books.
Authors who are already on board include some of the best-known names in popular fiction: Fiona Walker, Freya North, Wendy Holden, Kathy Lette, Mike Gayle, Daisy Waugh, Jennifer Weiner, Jenny Colgan, Meg Cabot, Nicola Kraus and Emma McLaughlin, Adele Parks, Anna Maxted, India Knight, Lisa Armstrong, Cecelia Ahearn, Victoria Routledge, Isabel Wolff and many more.
Reviews for the previous books in the series include:
"An entertaining and witty anthology of contemporary female novelists" THE TIMES
"An inspiration volume" MARIE CLAIRE
"An enchanting and insightful collection featuring anyone who's anyone" ELLE
"The perfect girls' night in" VOGUE
A Canadian edition is also planned, and the series will be released around the world in the second half of 2005. For every copy sold in the UK, No Strings receives around 50 pence. For more

LADIES' NIGHT
Summer 2005 sees the publication of Ladies' Night, an anthology of short stories which joins Girls' Night In, Girls' Night Out and Big Night Out (all global bestsellers) and extends its fundraising to No Strings, alongside War Child, for the first time.
With stories promised from Jenny Colgan, Kathy Lette, Chris Manby, Maggie Alderson, Imogen Edwards-Jones, Nick Earls, Jessica Adams, Faith Bleasdale, Lisa Armstrong, Gaye Longworth, Meg Cabot, Sarah Mlnyowski, Carole Matthews and many more, it promises to be a hot weather hit in the UK, Australia, Canada and USA.
No Strings trustee and team editor Jessica Adams says, "The previous anthologies raised almost one million pounds, so everyone is hoping we can do it again!"
We are currently raising money for our future projects in Afghanistan and other developing countries.
There are many different ways you can act now to help the charity educate children and give them a future.
