Few bits of news from me – 1) My story The Perfect Bakewell is in the current issue of The People's Friend. Isn't the illustration lovely?
2) My latest short story collectionA Way With Words is on sale at the introductory price of 99p (99c). 3) This week I've had an acceptance from Allas (for a story subbed this week!) and one from Take A Break for a 2,000 worder subbed 10 days ago. Do share any success or news of your own – and if there's anything you'd like posts on, other than my bragging, please let me know here.
Congratulations, Patsy! I've had an acceptance from TAB today for a story sent only a few weeks ago too :) Also had an acceptance from Australia's That's Life Magazine for a story sent a few months ago. Just goes to show, you never know what's around the corner.
They do give the stories lovely illustrations and yours looks particularly toothsome! I have a Polish bakery in my current serial; that was illustrated and someone asked on Twitter if it really existed; sadly no. Well done on your successes this week.
Well done, Patsy! Such a lovely illustration. I love it when the picture fits the story we've written. What an amazingly quick acceptance from TAB, too - must be a record! Good wishes Kate Hogan
Congratulations! I'd call that a Triple-Crown win.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Patsy! I've sold a few with baking at the centre of story:-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you too, Carrie!

Thanks, Maureen. It gives us a buzz when we get a 'yes' doesn't it. I can understand baking being a popular topic - tempts the taste buds!
ReplyDelete@ Alex – I'll take a triple any day!
ReplyDelete@ Carrie – Congrats to you too. It'll be nice if we're issue buddies.
@ Kate – It's a pity we can't write such places into existence.
@ Maureen – I like writing food related stories because I'm so good at the research!
