Thanks to Babs Trevitt who spotted this on Twitter – I'm glad she did as I'm not on it and so wouldn't have known. In case you can't read the small print it says The People's Friend have now chosen all their Christmas stories, won't be keeping those they have on file, and you can resubmit them next year. Babs was told next years' Christmas submissions can be sent from 1st June.
Free entry competition news
This competition is for playwrights from anywhere in the word, as long as they write in English and produce a minimum of 65 pages and the work hasn't been previously professionally produced. (I guess there's a standard definition of a page and I can't just write 'Nobody wanted him so he exited stage left, chased by midges and a Highland cow' in really big letters.) Prize is $10,000.
There's still time to have a go at my blue photo competition.
My news
I'm at the cathedral in Old Portsmouth 2- 5 today, helping to sell books on behalf of the Portsmouth Authors' Collective. Do come and say hello if you're in the area.
Two of my cosy crime novels are currently reduced to 99p / 99c. These are Acting Like A Killer and Disguised Murder and Community Spirit in Little Mallow. Offer ends 7th August.

A simple search came up with BBC formats for playwriting... but... loved this, there's something on the Bitesize bit for Literacy, which I can only assume is for Key Stage 2! That means, under 11-year-olds!🤣 See what I missed out on by teaching science!
Good luck this afternoon, Patsy. I was lucky enough to come 3rd in the poetry for the Portsmouth Collective's Competition run by Victory online. They do a great Thursday morning writing input: not just for those in Portsmouth, either! It's very diverse: advice and reviews and authors' writing lives. I know you did one last year when you mentioned it. Exit stage left.
Thanks for the info and comps and well done to all with positive news. The play writing project is US based and I'm not sure if they would understand the Yorkshire dialect, so that's why I'm not entering. The play isn't written all in dialect but I'm still not sure that they'd grasp it! I haven't any news to report.
