Quick, quick, QUICK!!! for [Wonderland] Alice fans

by Jimmy Hollis i Dickson
3rd August 2015

The deadline is past, but we've received far more graphic material than written contributions, and we're still in the selection stage. So if you want to contribute (to our book, as well as to 3 good causes which will share the profits) even the slightest written work (of any kind: poem, essay, memoirs, short story) and can get it to us by tomorrow (Tuesday, 4th of August), here's your [almost-guaranteed] chance to finally get your name in print.

The limit on length has been lifted.

Ok I'll have a look I think I have a short story that doesn't need too much work doing on it so I'll get some editing done tonight. I never write anything that is of the "ADULT" nature. I always think they are just an easy option for writers to get an audience.

Regards Paul.

Anything, Paul, as long as it's not something that would stop children having access to the book. There's something for everyone. Our youngest contributor is 3 or 4 years old. Most are adults.

So: no XXX, no gratuitous violence. Nothing OBJECTIONABLY adult. But for a mature reader, sure.

Hi Jimmy, does the short story have to be for young people, or adult, when I say adult I mean that in the general sense and NOT the XXX sense of adult?
