Short Fiction News
- Prima magazine looking for short stories
-
Prima, the leading monthly women's magazine, is going to have a new ongoing section in the magazine where we'll publish your short stories.
Entries should be no more than 500 words long and need to be based on a real life experience - an amazing act of friendship, an inspiring career change,
a 'triumph over tragedy' story, a 'Shirley Valentine' tale, a memorable romance or something else moving, inspiring or funny.
This is a great chance to get your name in print and for the winner, there will be a fabulous prize! So if you - or someone you know - might be interested in putting pen to paper,
we'd love to hear from you! Please email your entries to jane.gillow@natmags.co.uk or post them to
Jane Gillow, Features Writer, Prima, National Magazine Company, 72 Broadwick Street, London, W1F 9EP.
Many thanks, Jane - My latest website projects
- As regulars will be aware, I'm often coming up with new website projects
(don't I want any spare time??). My latest two are both fansites for online games. The very latest is named "Da Orcs 'ead" - and is a
community fansite for the soon to be released Warhammer Online game.
The other is a new fansite, "The Quasar Bar" is for an upcoming scifi MMO game called Jumpgate Evolution. - E-books - advertise your works here.
- To give all you authors another helping had, I have decided to offer space on this homepage to advertise your ebooks. If you are an author who would like a link/banner/cover placed right here (in return for a link back would be nice), just drop me a line.
- Derek Dubois has self published his first book: “Dogs
and Other Short Stories.” It is now available for purchase through Amazon.com for the
measly price of $9.95. Please support local artists and budding writers
by purchasing this book. You will not be disappointed.
