The Fabulate Project

I am emailing you is to let you know about a project we have recently started, aimed at creative writers with all levels of experience, from all backgrounds. The project is called “Fabulate” and all the details can be found on the website…

http://www.fabulate.co.uk

…but in short the idea is to create a collaborative story written one page at a time, based on submissions by numerous authors, each a maximum of 500 words each. Submissions are reviewed anonymously by the authors peers (if they choose to take part as a reviewer), with the most popular submission being chosen as the next ‘page’ of the story. The project is free for anyone to join, but we do have measures in place to prevent abuse!

The aim is to publish the completed book, so this could provide a unique opportunity for new/part-time writers to get work published – successful contributors will also earn a cut of any profits the project makes!

I hope you find this project as exciting as we do, and would consider sharing it with your members/students/website visitors – we have recently received backing from the Manchester Literature Festival and Sheffield’s “Off the Shelf” Festival of Writing and Reading, who have kindly agreed to help promote the project.
