Join me on my blog to read stories and poems from talented writers in Southern Ontario. If you are a writer in your spare time or are wondering how to get your work recognized, send your stories or poems in a Word document, Times New Roman 12 space for a chance to be published. Stories can be up to 1500 words, but longer works are welcome and published in episodes, or micro-stories in groups of two or more.
Are you writing a novel or non fiction? Send an outline or a chapter or two, for feedback from your peers.
How long will my story be available on the website?
The material will be refreshed approximately every two weeks, but a copy of every published work is available in the archives. My website will be under construction every other Sunday for an hour or so, but keep visiting for the very latest publications.
You will always retain your copyright. International submissions are also welcome and encouraged…

Inspirational quotes
“Being a writer is a very peculiar sort of job: It’s always you versus a blank sheet of paper (or a blank screen) and quite often the blank piece of paper wins.” — Neil Gaiman
