Uk Meet 2012 Placeholder notice of a forthcoming call for submissions.

Following the success of Tea & Crumpet, we’ll be having another tie-in anthology for the 2012 UK Meet of those who love GLBTQ fiction. Working title is “Lashings of sauce”, with a general theme of celebrating difference – different strokes for our different folks.

It will be open to anyone attending the event, whether already published or not. So if any readers or reviewers have an inner author itching to get out, this is a time to unleash them. Some of our most popular stories from last time came from “newbies”. Inner editors will be welcome, too!

What should you do now? Get your ideas together, start crafting that story. Think if you can volunteer to edit or proof.What should you not do? Send us anything just yet! A full set of guidelines will come out in due course – that’ll be the time to press “send” on a story or an offer of help.

Feel free to repost.

You know what Charlie? That sounds so tempting.....Maybe I should try translating one of my shorts? *gnaws on fingers* Or maybe not. Just thinking the thought makes me run for the bathroom.

I'm really wanting to go to the next UK Meet. Where, when is it?

Excellent stuff!

I should have my current round of short stories all submitted by mid-January, then I can start thinking about all my other plot bunnies and NiNoEs (novels-in-need-of-editing) again.

Although I also have at least two stories in need of tidying up and submitting to magazines as well...

Hello ... I'd fancied last years meet but a pesky overseas move sort of got in the way. I'm wondering if as I no longer actually live in the Uk anymore whether I'd be eligible to attend/participate?

(I would have to investigate further once date/place of meet confirmed to see if can get there!)

Exciting news!

My inner foodie is now trying to wrestle my muse over a kitchen table... I think I'm going to have some good dreams tonight!

Ooh yes please!

I would love to write a story for this. I have an idea already.

I could proofread too.

I was at the 2011 meet under my other writing name of Rory Auden :-)
