We're having a party on 23rd December. Your invitation is here - just in case you missed it.
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. or visit the blog on my website for the Wednesday word of the week.
Free entry competition news
Here's a great opportunity for unpublished novelists. There are generous cash prizes, mentoring, courses and agent representation on offer.
Thanks to Sharon Boothroyd for the link to The Cheshire Prize. There are cash prizes on offer for poetry, short stories, flash fiction, scriptwriting and children's literature. Unfortunately you must live in Cheshire to enter. Or, if you do live there, fortunately you will only be competing against a limited number of other writers.
Womag / competition news
Best have announced a new competition - for romance stories. Sorry, I haven't been able to get a photo or screenshot yet. I think the rules are the same as usual.
It's the winter solstice tomorrow (in the northern hemisphere). I like to celebrate the turn of the seasons and the fact the days will gradually be growing longer. This year, weather permitting, that will take place at Avebury. Do you celebrate or mark the solstice in any way?
