The weather is pretty grim at the moment, and unfortunately we've had to cut short our campervan adventures, so I'm at home working hard on my writing. Some cheerful summer flowers seem in order! (We're fine, but something happened meaning we had to come back quickly, and something else means we can't go away again anytime soon.)
Free to enter writing competitions
This one, kindly passed on by Sheila Crosby, is a bit niche! They're looking for an essay about what you'd say to a young person or new grad starting out in software. You have up to 3,000 words and until the end of the year to come up with an answer which could win you $10,000.
Calls for submissions
Thanks to Sheelagh for the information that Northern Gravy is open for submissions of fiction and poetry. They pay for those they publish.
Your news
As well as continuing to share news about your submissions, acceptances and competition results, please let us know (in the comments) if you'll be doing any readings, talks, booksignings etc which are open to the public. Perhaps one or more of us will be able to attend - and I think we're all interested in what other writers get up to.
My news
Distracting Crimes and Romantic Proposals in Little Mallow is now available to pre order. It's the 4th book in my cosy crime series and will be released on 25th November.
I'll be doing a booksigning in The Book Shop, Lee-on-the-Solent on 28th November. Please come in and say hello if you're in the area.
