Over to you



Please share writing related news – successes and failures, details of free entry writing competitions, updates about the womags you submit to, any other publication opportunities, and raise any queries you may have. All these things will help other readers of the blog, and help me to keep it going!

As always, feel free to use my photos as writing prompts. If you prefer words to images for that purpose, take a look here.


Free entry competition news

On the premises are back! To mark the occasion they're running a short story competition with a $250 top prize and lots of smaller prizes. They want 1,000 to 5,000 words about someone or something returning. Thanks to Alyson for letting me know.



Womag news

From Eirin Thompson - "Just wanted to let you know that The People's Friend has posted on Twitter/X inviting submissions of 3,000-word stories - any genre, any season. Hope this might be helpful to those not on Twitter/X." (Thanks to HB for also passing on that message.)


Fortunately I'd just had a rejection from TPF, so was able to submit something else to them. I super speedily wrote something fitting the requirements – and it was accepted two days later!

Congratulations on your TPF turnaround, Patsy. Interesting that you had a rejection. I just never hear back at all.
