Lincoln would make an awesome setting! It has the historic beauty, and university ‘affluence’ but also the mid/north deprivation. I would think, being as you are looking at family secrets, and being as the rich, chic family with secrets is a trope probably too predictable… I like the reflection you could build from a very historic setting -…[Read more]

I can’t believe I’m writing this, but I have more good news to share. I have just been informed that my story, 32 Ivy Place, has won the Doris Gooderson Short Story Competition. They had this to say:

Mean and generous tied at 11 each so the outcome at the moment is generous by default. Anybody yet to vote who feels like being mean?
-
Generous please. There’s already enough meanness in the world.
-
That’s true of the world. But had you considered that a little meanness might help the short story challenge?
-
No, m’dear. I don’t know enough about it to consider whether or not it needs help – and assume it’ll be strong enough. 😀

Just a quick note to all Denizens: if you’ve missed the “Room with a View” challenge, take a quick trip to the group “A Room with a View” and read up on this short story extravaganza. You have until 22:00 tomorrow (Sunday 30th September) to join the group and make choices as explained in the Welcome Topic. It’s great fun and lasts until FEBRUARY…[Read more]

Check out the novels first though – a good way to judge whether they’re you’re sort of publisher.

Daedalus replied to the topic My failure in the forum Podium 7 years, 10 months ago
Interesting perspective, Andrew. It seems to me that an awful lot of ‘failure’ is not necessarily a failure in the writing, but a failure to direct the writing to the best audience – whether it be a competition, a magazine, an anthology (in short story terms), or an agent, a publisher or competition etc in novel terms.
