Magazine news
Thanks to Fiona for the news that Freya at Aquila is looking for short stories (1,000 to 3,000 words) suitable for children 8-13. They're also looking for puzzle writers and historians. 'Basic rate is £150 for 700 words. For non-fiction, send a short paragraph about you with your ideas and a couple of examples of published work. For fiction, send completed short stories. In both instances, email Freya: editor@aquila.co.uk.'
Free to enter writing competitions
Have you written at least one book (fiction, non fiction or poetry) and feel that having time away in an Airbnb property (or more than one) might help you write the next? If so, explain that in Hay Festival's room to write competition and win £1,500 worth of vouchers.
Thanks to Fiona for this competition from The Scottish Wildlife Trust. They want up to 1,000 words in any form, on the theme of changing seasons and Scotland's wildlife and wild places. There's an interesting array of prizes on offer for the winner - plus a couple of small runner up prizes.
Thanks to Alyson for this 6 word competition, with a $100 prize. Hmmm, maybe I do have time to write a whole story after all.

Thank you, Fiona, Alyson and Patsy. What an eclectic mix... again! I can't commit to a regular feature (😜) but this month's BOWW: Patsy, With this ring and S Bee, Makeover magic and The bucket list challenge.
Hmmm... 6 words? I'll have a go. Continue enjoying your travels, Patsy.
Many thanks Patsy and Marguerite. I had no idea that I was in BOWW with those 3 re- prints! That's really cheered me up.
Well done to Pasty and all with positive news.
Just a reminder that the meet cute opportunity mentioned costs £12 to enter. People think it's free, but it isn't.
I've subbed most of my Xmas stories now.
I haven't had any news, apart from the above. It's been really quiet.
Sorry, 2 re- prints!
Still good going, Sharon!
@ Marguerite - Thanks for letting me know. Like Sharon, I had no idea the story was being used.
@ Sharon - Nice to be issue buddies, even if we won't get paid.
Thanks for pointing out the fee for that competition. I'm not getting much time online at the moment and haven't been checking things as well as I should – and some competitions are very bad at making the fact there's a fee clear. I've removed it from the post now.
