Our spooky night meeting is coming up on Tuesday (7th). The homework theme for this time of year is GHOST or HALLOWEEN - the choice is yours! This is usually a popular evening so here's hoping the meeting will go well and not too many folk will get spooked out.
There is some sad news for the group. Jim has decided to withdraw from Scribblers which is a great shame. He is already a member of Orwell Writers who meet in the afternoons and with his lengthy and expensive journeys he needs to cut back. Jim feels happier with the afternoon meetings and so we bid a sad farewell to him. His humour and amusing tales have been a highlight of our meetings.
I have a message from Angela Petch who tells me that her two books, Tuscan Roots (formerly entitled 'Never Forget') and 'Now and Then in Tuscany' are being republished as e-books on 10 November and 8th December respectively and doubtless will be available on Amazon. Angela is a lovely writer and always makes her work interesting. These are two good reads so if you haven't got a copy yet then look out for them.
We have a message from Lindsey of Fairlight Books who says:
You’ve previously been contacted by my colleague Urska in regards to our call for short story submissions, which we are still accepting.
I am writing today to let you know that we are also currently seeking novella submissions. We consider novellas as longer fiction and will be publishing successful manuscripts traditionally.
For more information on our submission process please refer to our website at http://www.fairlightbooks.co.uk/submissions/.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you.
Best wishes,
