hay relay

As part of the Hay Festival, the Guardian has arranged for ten writers to write ten consecutive chapters from the top deck of a double-decker bus parked in the middle of the festival site. It's about as close as authors get to being daredevils. The writers are Beryl Bainbridge, Dave Eggers, Rose Tremain, Toby Litt, Thomas Keneally, A L Kennedy, Marina Lewycka, Blake Morrison, Deborah Moggach, and Rupert Thomson.
