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 up to 1500 words, but longer works are welcome and published in episodes; micro-stories in groups of two or more.
Are you writing a novel or a 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 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…a story of your early life as you prospered/struggled, growing up on a farm/small town/city or in a loving/hate-filled environment…dearly loved pet, etc.
