Hear Ye, Hear Ye….

It’s time to sharpen up your wits and your pen (okay then, keyboard), for our next writing contest – our very own Independence Date.

Ye Olde Rules

1. No more than two stories per person. So choose wisely and send us your best work.

2. The theme is Independence – interpret it how you will: funny, tragic, serious, surreal; surprise us!

3. Aim for no more than a page or so – 750 words maximum (that’s 15 per star!).

4.  Send your entries to derek@awordwithyoupress.com. They must be in by midnight July 31st (and we’re on Californian time).

And what’s up for grabs for the winner, I imagine you asking?

Well, it’s a mystery prize, a token from one of the old countries. The lucky winner will be contacted by me (that’s not the prize!) and something posted out to them by a combination of my own hand and Royal Mail. Then we’ll put photos of here and there on the site (if I can get the right camera drivers for my mac).

So get creative, get busy and remember, only 2 stories per customer. Form a line!
