Looking around.

Its been a horrible week, with the Referendum result and all the ensuing, and ongoing, angst. This isn't the place for discussing that but I find it painful that I am currently polishing a short story about a trafficked Eastern European woman who is willing to risk her life to get to the UK and to try to improve her lot once here.

That particular story didn't meet with any success in Mslexia's short story competition but that's an extremely tough challenge and I have a good feeling about entering it into another competition.

Which brings me onto the topic of identifying suitable markets. I have invested in a rather expensive little directory  from Mslexia entitled Indie Presses. I can't wait to have a proper look at it!

PS At least I had a few mildly witty words in Mslexia's summer issue, on the Forum page, extracted from a comment I made on their Facebook page.
