Writers of the year
2013 are announced
United Press has
just announced its Writers of the Year 2013.
In the resultant
book are: The late Doreen Marley of Uttoxeter, Maragret Hunter of Stirling,
Roger Kingman of Southampton, Anne Jenkins of Abertillery, David Pinn of
Camelford and Indrani Ananda of Brighton.
“This is a new
venture to encourage people to get more involved in writing and all the 6
winners get 25 copies of the book, which includes photos and profiles of each
one, plus their winning entry,” said Peter Quinn, Managing Director of United
Press, publishers of the book.
United Press is now
inviting more hopefuls to submit their work for the next compilation.
“We like to set
writers a challenge,” said Peter “This is how we came up with the idea which
led to this book. We decided to run a competition asking writers to submit work
in a whole range of different categories. In all, we came up with 6 categories,
ranging from long poems to children’s stories and from fiction to true life and
we picked a winner in each category.”
Each of the 6
winners receives not only a framed certificate marking their success but also
25 copies of the book - a prize worth almost £250.
“It’s been a
delight for us to encourage more people to get involved in writing,” added
Peter . “I hope others may be inspired to follow the example of these writers,
many of whom have not had anything published before.” If you feel inspired,
telephone 0844 800 9177 for details or send some material to “Writers of 2014”,
United Press, Admail 3735, London EC1B 1JB.

Year 2013”, priced £9.99, is out now and is available via all good bookshops by
