Last chance to submit your writing!
Do you want to work alongside me to edit a piece of your work AND get paid and published right here? Then you're in the right place. But first, some news..
Hey all,
As some of you know, I’m on a semi-hiatus at the minute, but things will resume again next Wednesday for those missing the weekly Things Worth Knowing questionnaire.
That said, last week we tried something a bit different as I asked YOU all to share your own pieces of wisdom that might help others. And blow me if it wasn’t the most beautiful, inspiring-and sometimes hilarious, thread around. It’s still live now and I would urge you to go in and have a look if you have not. You can find it here. I’d love for you to share your own thoughts. Also if we like this I might think about doing this more regularly. Can you let me know what you think in the poll below? I promise it will take no longer than three seconds. Maybe less.
In other news and updates, a reminder that it is our monthly writing club this coming Sunday at 5pm UK time. This is your chance to come together with a group of like-minded writers who want to work together in companionable silence. We start the session with a brief chat- what you’re working on, any new intros etc… then we write in silence together for 50 minutes. Think of it as a REALLY NICE accountability class.
Here’s the dates for the next few. I’ll pop these somewhere visible on the site too. Link below the paywall to join this week’s. But I’ll also send out on Friday too.
WRITING GROUP DATES
May 21st, 5pm-6pm (UK TIME)
June 23rd, 5pm-6pm (UK TIME)
July 30th, 5pm-6pm (UK TIME)
Speaking of writing, a reminder that we have a great competition currently live. So many of you have already submitted your entries and I can’t tell you how proud I am of everyone. So many to choose from.
Basically I’m looking for the next Substack writing star. If that’s you all you need to do is send me a NEW memoir piece that is no longer than 800 words by May 31st. (I’ve extended the deadline by a week). All the details about what I’m looking for are here. but basically i’ll help you hone your story, so you get one-on-one editing time with me and i’ll publish it on here and pay you.
Are you in? All you need to do to enter and join our writing groups (if they take your fancy) is be a paid subscriber. If you want to upgrade you can just hit the button below.
