Writing Opportunity

If there are any young (under 35) writers who are looking at the blog, you may be interested to pop over to Tindal Street Press' website as they are looking for submissions of short stories.

In celebration of their ten year anniversary of publishing fiction Tindal Street Press are looking to put together an anthology of short stories written by young talent. The anthology "Roads Ahead" will be edited by celebrated author Catherin O'Flynne, author of acclaimed novel "What Was Lost" which won last years Costa First Book Award, and was listed for the Man Booker.

This is a fantastic opportunity, the deadline for submissions is December 1st 2008. Head over to the website, via the link above for more information.

Contributors Exhibition

The Joyful Bewilderment

For anyone reading the blog in London there's still time to check out the Joyful Bewilderment exhibition, curated by contributor Simon Peplow.

Details are as follows:

2nd October - 27th October 2008

ROUGH TRADE EAST

Dray Walk

Old Truman Brewery

91 Brick Lane

London

E1 6QL

The exhibition is also contains work by other contributors Ben Javens and Michael Kirkham along with (I believe) over a hundred other artists work as well. Even if it's not that many there's plenty to see and it is certainly worth a visit.

So get down there before it's too late!

Impending Website

The Word Of Mouth website will be launched within the next couple of weeks. The website will finally be providing a platform for the magazine to be viewed in digital form by anyone who pleases.

Keep an eye on the blog for updates on Word Of Mouth's progress, news about contributors activities and literary events.

Apologies for the inaccurate colours on the image above (blogger seems to be unable to compute the correct colours), all the more reason to check out the website when it arrives to see what Issue One's cover really looks like.

Many thanks,
Editor
