Writing friend S. Bee has a really sweet story in the same issue. It's always nice to share an issue with someone I know.
Ireland's Own are generous in that as well as sending authors a copy of the issue their story is in, they also include another issue. Coincidentaly another friend, and member of the same critique group I and S. Bee are in, has a story in the one I got. Carrie Hewlett's story is in the children's section.
I've had replies from people at TAB and Bauer, with regards to the all rights issues I've mentioned in recent posts. So far these have just been to say they'll find out and let me know – which I'm sure they will. Of course I don't know if we'll like the answers, but they should leave us better informed.
Does anyone else have good news to share?

Thanks Patsy, and well done to you and S.Bee.
Be interesting as to what replies you do end up receiving with regards to Bauer and TAB.
No news as such, but just found out you can buy IO as an ezine so am about to sit down and read your stories with a cuppa!
Congratulations Patsy and S Bee too.
Fingers crossed that the response from Bauer Media and TAB will be better than we fear.
@ Carrie – the replies I've had so far don't tell me much, but maybe that's a good thing?
@ Bubble – that's useful information for anyone wanting to study this market in order to submit to it.
@ Carol – I'm trying not to worry too much until we know for sure.
I’m all for celebrating good news. Glad to see three of my writing friends sharing the pages together. Ireland’s Own has a lovely feel-good vibe, although it is hard to track down. I’ve not found it in my local shops.
Congratulations, Patsy. I hadn't really considered Ireland's Own before, but, since reading your post, have sent off for two copies to peruse.
@ Meg – It's an interesting publication!
Hi Patsy, Thanks for sharing this. How long was it before you were contacted by Ireland's Own to say your piece was to be published? I submitted a short story three weeks ago, but haven't heard anything yet.
@ Joyce – It's usually several months with them, but can vary greatly – and if it's a no, you may never hear back.
