Announcement from
Antonia Matheson
Hi to the academy, thanks for all the wonderful work they do, and all the support the readers here give us writers. I've not posted in a while, and it's mostly because I've been co-ordinating a really wonderful project I think a lot of you might be interested in.
It's called The L Project, and we gathered fifteen talented female vocalists form the UK, all out and proud, to create the track "It Does Get Better." The track was released earlier this month, and was no.15 in the UK indie charts within it's first week. The video has over 150,000 hits on youtube, and we're going from strength to strength garnering a lot of press. Every drop of the proceeds are going to charities that help prevent LGBT bullying, and I'm hoping that members of the academy will do me the great honor of showing us your support by going to the facebook page, liking it and shouting "The Royal Academy of Bards" sent me!

Thanks
Sofia Antonia Milone aka Antonia Matheson
