Fairy tales seem to be de rigueur at the moment. Which suits me just fine.

Currently out in the wild:

• 1 story shortlisted for Specter Spectacular II: 13 Deathly Tales.
• 3 poems submitted for the Mslexia women’s poetry competition.

Now considering what to submit to:

• Tell Me a Fable (DL: 31st July)
• Fairy Tale Review (Wizard of Oz theme) (DL: 1st August)

• Mslexia’s Women’s Poetry Competition is open until 17th June. Ladies, do enter. It’s a great magazine.
• In the wake of Pill Hill Press’s demise, Miles Boothe has set up his own publishing company, Emby Press. He’s got a few calls for submissions up for those who are interested in monsters. And who isn’t?
• I’m doing a writing course at the Isle of Wight College.  It’s certainly sparked some ideas, but I think novel writing was a bit of an ambitious aim. I have no idea at all how my novel is going to end 😉
