LATEST NEWS - THE BLOG PART
Ready, action, go!

We send out our first issue in two weeks’ time and I’ve never been so nervousexcited before. Our sales team is mobilising, the printers are standing by and a small flurry of papers and email whirls around me. Writers be warned: your day is coming faster than Jim Carrie can change his face...

If you think you’ve missed a deadline or your work will just be buried under yet another slush pile if you submit now – think again. Don’t forget we will be printing FOUR stories EVERY week so we need your work. Each issue will contain different genres, styles and length of stories, so your masterpiece is bound to slot in quickly. Every submission will receive a personal reply within a maximum of 7 days so you’ll never be left wondering whether it was accepted or not.

Polish it up as much as you can before you submit, but if it still needs work, remember that we are willing to help. And if you’re still uncertain, follow some of the useful links on our LINKS page.

It’s almost standard practise for writers to get critiques from a variety of sources, so don’t hold back. If you need help handling critiques, visit our WRITING TIPS page.

And if you see our guys out on the Cape Town streets, give them a manic smile and buy a copy. Tell your friends and family about us and post the link to our website anywhere you think people will be interested. It will make our sales team’s job that much easier to bring your carefully crafted words to the public.

If you’re a reader, we love you! Ultimately it’s you we’re serving so please drop by and leave a note for the authors on their pages. Thank you for your support so far and we look forward to bringing you much more exciting fiction.

So now it’s time for me to crunch some more numbers, fiddle with the layout yet again and take the dog for a walk. We’ll keep this blog as our website for now, but keep a lookout for our fully interactive website coming soon where you’ll be able to download back copies, subscribe online and register to chat to writers directly.
