Beanbags 4eva. <br /><br />Yeah, the huge entry fees - like the Cinnamon Press one - are very off-putting. Esp if you're just entering one story for £16, that's huge. It's most likely I'll go for the Lightship one out of the three I've linked to. Great judges, reasonable entry fee, excellent prizes. Good combo.Teresa Stensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17027879292470220383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5968546507603375440.post-77768250964153780952011-06-21T03:35:36.910+01:002011-06-21T03:35:36.910+01:00Hard copy doesn't turn me off as much as a fee...Hard copy doesn't turn me off as much as a fee ofer ten quid - translate punds to dollars people and add one very skint writer into the sum....moan blah whinge...I can't afford to enter much this year - we bought a settee - finally - after four years of scrapping for a bean bag!<br /><br />But thank you for all your fab links - you are always very generous with your info/links!<br />Good luck to you if you're entering.Rachel Fentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046917627054462214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5968546507603375440.post-15906144007620449432011-06-20T23:34:49.289+01:002011-06-20T23:34:49.289+01:00If in those 5 days you want a 'Ladies night...If in those 5 days you want a 'Ladies night' tell me and I'll get on it xxTeresa Stensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17027879292470220383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5968546507603375440.post-69953472008494564402011-06-20T23:27:12.424+01:002011-06-20T23:27:12.424+01:00Ooo!

This reminds me, My FIRST 'letter' to a magazine that got printed was to the "pets' corner" section of Bunty when I was 10 with a photo of me reading the magazine with my hamster sitting on my shoulder.<br />I'll be in York for about 5 days.

How long are you here for? <br /><br />Please bring a copy of your letter to 'Q' if you have one. My first ever published letter was to 'Just 17' (not as cool) and was about how I'd followed their Feng Shui article instructions just before I went to see Ash play live and then 'met' them at the gig. 'Met' them = embarrassed myself greatly in their prescence.<br /><br />See you very soon xTeresa Stensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17027879292470220383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5968546507603375440.post-91553105397962718732011-06-20T22:44:58.113+01:002011-06-20T22:44:58.113+01:00Dearest Tree, congrats on having your letter print...Dearest Tree, congrats on having your letter printed. The only letter I ever got printed was in 'Q' magazine when I was 15 responding 'outraged' at a previous letter-writer's dislike of (my then true love) Brian Molko from Placebo...<br />As someone who is generally not easily swayed into submitting to competitions, the ones that only accept hard copy submissions do definitely put me off even further.<br />I hope you're well and happy. Hope to see you next month when I visit York.<br />Anna xxxAnna Cathenkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10882185372693970522noreply@blogger.com
