A Bit of This and a Bit of That!

I completed the deadline for Kangaroo Land.. You know, the April 30 one. BUT, received competition feedback from UK Authors which mentioned duplicated words and thought best to go through the ENTIRE book and check them out.  Remarkable how many there are.

Oh, bizarrely, printing a manuscript off is better when editing than reading from the monitor. Goodness knows why but believe me, it is.  Also requires back up ink cartridges!

Thought of entering the opening chapters into a competition run by US writing site Wow, Women ion Writing but  in the small print I read something about fees - don't want to get myself into a money-pickle.

Printed off Summersdale submission guideline and plan to submit Kanagroo Land with the email from Hazel Cushion from Accent Press who advised I try them. In short, I will!

Cinnamon Press have a comp deadline end of June for £16.  I checked as they don't seem to print travel - but Jan assured me that it's for any genre.

Might as well give it a go!

Received a super heavy weight engraved pen from Stephanie Hale (Rich Writer Poor Writer) because Kangaroo Land reached the Top 100. Whoop! Whoop!


That's all folks!
