Hi, I am pretty new here but think its a great opportunity for writers to share their work. My question is whether anyone would like to take part in mini writing competitions to be run monthly and just for fun? I am trying to set this up on my blog and the idea would be for people to submit their own prose/poems up to a 500 word limit with visitors then voting for their favourite and the winner each month setting the next month's theme, beginning or ending etc. Envisage a bit of trial and error but thought I'd put it out there....
Thanks
Hi Damien and Freya
I wouldn't judge it personally but rather would leave that to the contributors and any other visitors to the site and the winner each month would set the competition theme for the next month so all very democratic (hopefully!)
I'd put an extract from my book on this site and liked the opportunity to get some work out there so thought I would set something similar up but turn it into a competition for a little bit of edge. Plus I thought it would be another opportunity to get some more interaction going between writers as can be a bit lonely out there sometimes....
If you want to take a look you can find it under Monthly Mini Writing Comps at

Thanks again
Hi Elizabeth! I'm new too and think that would be great, hope you can get it up and running soon,
Freya
