Journalism, Fiction, Poetry Opportunity for Women, UK


I have just sent four of my Miniscule poems to Mslexia on the theme of birds. There are other opportunities for publication and you  can subscribe for 1 year's journals in print or have an online subscription which gives you a backlog of Mslexia journals as well - all to view online or download. I have also sent my novel The Ozone Cafe to their novel competition which requires an entry fee of 25 pounds, but the prize winner receives 5,000 pounds, plus publication. It is open to all international women who have never been previously published as a novelist.  There will also be a short-list of six writers, enough kudos if one might win a place, especially in the UK, then take it to an Australian publisher. Great judges also: Marina Lewycka (novelist), Juliet Mushens (literary agent), Di Speirs (Books Editor, BBC Radio & Music Production). I caught Lewycka's panel one year at the Perth Writers Festival when her award-winning novel The Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian had just been  released and featured on the ABC's Radio National.

  1. Not all that matters should be long and bulky to be viewed as an artistic expression and in verse, this is particularly the case. Verse has long softened new boondocks up showing quickness and concision with words as a masterful expression. Short poem (var.)
