Places for Writers…
It’s been while since I’ve been on placesforwriter.com – I love the site and find it a great resource for writers, and for teen writers too as they have a special section. The site lists places to publish and send work. What I find is that sometimes the callouts for work, inspire me to write something I never would have come up with on my own. Like this one – perhaps you have a crime story inside you?:
Entries are invited for the Margery Allingham Short Story Competition (Crime Writers’ Association UK). Short stories must be unpublished and fit Margery’s definition of a mystery: “The Mystery remains box-shaped, at once a prison and a refuge. Its four walls are, roughly, a Crime, a Mystery, an Enquiry and a Conclusion with an Element of Satisfaction in it.” Prize: £1,000. Length: 3500 words max. Deadline: 4pm GMT March 16, 2014. Entry fee: £10.
