Nice one Northey! Good luck with it.

Sally

Thanks, Sally! But I don't have much hope...




Northey

What a way to begin the weekend - shame on you, Northey!
Get that smile in place and let the sunshine in (la la)

I agree with Autumn! Anyway Northey, the fact is that you've written a novel and had the guts to send it off. Give yourself credit for that at least

Sally

Thanks, Sally and Autumn!

Just thought I'd mention the Small Wonder short story festival, which starts on Friday, continuing through Sunday. It looks very exciting - Ali Smith, Jackie Kay, William Trevor, Yann Martel etc -

http://www.charleston.org.uk/festival3.htm

Luckily I'll be in London and should be able to get to the festival by train to Lewes, then shuttle bus (timetable uncertain). I wonder if anyone else from Get Writing is thinking of going?

One event in particular may be of interest to September Subbers - the Short Story Slam on Saturday night. "You've heard of a poetry slam - this is the same format using short stories, New York style. It's stimulating, competitive and great fun. If you want to take part, bring along a short story on the subject of Just Good Friends - politicians, lovers, Ross and Rachel, the Bloomsbury Group, Harry and Sally... The story should take no more than five minutes to read aloud, clearly. Names will be put into a hat and around ten people chosen to take part. The audience will vote for the best story of the evening."

Hmm... if my name went in the hat but didn't get picked out, would that still count as a sub?



Northey

I'd say so Northey. It's a similar 'chance' to getting published or winning a competition.

Sally

Everyone get over to this thread at wordplay http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/getwriting/F1704378?thread=479598 to win a publishing deal courtesy of Richard and Judy. I want to see that everyone has subbed by October 15th Sally

Thanks, Sally! You're a star!



Northey

Northey...
I cant get to much of the Charleston thing.. but I live 2 miles from Lewes. Would love to meet up if you are here??

vanessa

A couple of hits from previous threads and nowhere to list them, so I thought Id tell you guys..

One acceptance from Quiet Feather (and a thanks to Tom Hobbit for that recommendation, I seem to recall)

and one shortlisting..the Mere comp.

vanessa

Ah, sadly I don't qualify to enter the Richard and Judy comp - but good luck to everyone who does!

Vanessa, CONGRATULATIONS on the Quiet Feather hit and the Mere shortlisting!

It would be great to meet up next w/e - the only problem is, I don't have a car. Could meet you in Lewes, or at Charleston - maybe Friday or Saturday?



Northey

I have a car.. ring me..01273 814149
would be lovely to meet. Im busy over lunchtime friday but otherwise, free. and saturday freeish.

Congratulations Vanessa! Yes, do share good news with us here. It spurs us on!
