Our quarterly magazine serves the
interests of all our members, who vary from successful authors to virtual
novices. It includes details of our meetings, poetry, competitions, letters,
marketing information, advice and the work of members. This includes winning
competition entries and articles, short stories and poems that have not been
submitted for competition, or had failed to win. Thus all members are given the
chance to see their work published, as wish to encourage all of our members, not
just those who have already succeeded. To some extent we are a club of kindred
spirits. Many attend meetings, others depend upon Author as the means by which
they communicate, everyone shares a love of writing.
The editor accepts work in any
form, but it makes his task easier and improves the prospect of being published
in Author, if it is submitted in the following form.
• Use A4
size paper.
• Type on
one side of the page only.
• Leave a
one inch left-hand-side margin.
• Put your name on the manuscript, even though it
appears on a covering sheet.
• Short
stories should not exceed 2,500 words (preferably less).
•
Articles, particularly about writing, are welcome - 1,000 to 1,500 words
preferred.
