Hi all, people in the North West of England might find this of interest.

HAVE YOU GOT THE WRITE STUFF?

LancasterUKOnline.net is starting a new Local Fiction section on its web
site in association with Lancaster's Spotlight Club. We're looking for
stories based in the local area, which reflect the community we live in.
They can be contemporary, historical, funny or fantastic as long as they
are
based in the area. They might even be accounts of real-life events that
have
had a major impact on local life. The night Morecambe Pier collapsed, for
example, or the day the old Lancaster Market burnt down. They could even be
your ghost story...

Because these are stories for web reading writers should submit stories of
no less than 600 words long but no more than 800 words. Please send us your
stories within the body of an e-mail, NO attached files.

There is currently no payment for the stories we use but copyright remains
with the author and the page featuring your story will include full contact
details as the author requires. The stories will be selected from
submissions by the site's editors and the Spotlight co-ordinators.

We hope that the space will provide an international platform for local
authors, be they new or established, and that the most popular stories will
be collected at a later date, with the agreement of the writers.

If you'd like to know more, contact me at the address below, or contact Ron
Baker or Sarah Fiske from Spotlight ([log in to unmask]).
