Suddenly it's all out there. 'From Here To Here', 26's Circle Line project is bursting upon the world and (even if we say so ourselves) it's marvellous. Fortunately lots of other people are saying it's marvellous too, not least our partners in this extraordinary creative venture.

Here are some things to look out for:

September 8 Posters, leaflets and posters all around the Circle Line, featuring the work of our writers and the design teams from the London College of Communication.

September 12 Vinyls of the posters, with extracts from the stories, will take over a complete walkway at Embankment station.

September 15 Exhibition at the London College of Communication.

The book 'From Here To Here: Stories Inspired By London's Circle Line' is now in bookshops and available online. Only £12.99 and a great read. Stories and poems from 31 of 26's writers (see offer below).

The website Students from the LCC have designed a fantastic website www.fromheretohere.com

Two just-published books, 'From here to here: stories inspired by London's Circle Line' and '26 Malts - Some Joy Ride', are now being offered as a pair to 26 members at a heavily discounted price.

If you buy the books from a bookshop, you'll get a couple of coppers change from £28. If you buy them direct from Cyan, stating '26 members' offer', you will get them for only £20 (inc p&p in the UK).

Review by Margaret Oscar

There was a lot of magic at this year's Edinburgh Book Festival. Around the corner, bagpipes parped at both ends of Princes Street, Sir Walter Scott's monument looked particularly fine in the sunshine, performing artists drew crowds to the grounds outside the National Gallery. And in Charlotte Square Gardens, the home of the Book Festival, 26 was creating a little magic of its own. John Simmons, Jamie Jauncey and Stuart Delves held the stage to share their experiences of writing for business, the Circle Line venture, and the extremely well-received 26 Malts project.

For those with slightly more obscure tastes than JK Rowling, this ultra-handy web site lets you know when new material by your favourite authors is due to be released. Just sign up and you'll get an email two weeks before the book's due to be published, plus details of promotional tours. One minor gripe - the site is sponsored by Harper Collins, so watch out for a slight bias.

A warm welcome to... honorary members Sarah Temple and Liz O'Sullivan; Lorelei Matthias, copywriter at Random House; George Milton; Penny Williams of Equatorblue; Claire Wilson, investment writer at Standard Life, and last but not least, Rachel Jones and Beverley Bruce, both of Great Circle Communications.

We hope you will all enjoy and contribute to 26.
