All this talk about writers from the likes of Australia, New Zealand and Canada has somewhat overshadowed UK writers in my recent blogs. Hopefully, this puts that right.

The entries coming in for the January competition, as well as those for the December one, have included a significant number from the UK - North Yorkshire is already well represented this time around.

They illustrate the strength of writing in the UK. As our promotion of this competition gathers pace, we are trying to mail or email as many writing groups as we can worldwide. We have contacted more than 150 in the UK alone already. It has been the same in other countries.

We know that so far we have only found a tiny fraction of those that exist, each one containing writers with the ability to tell compelling stories.

If you would like more information sent to your group, wherever you are, please do get in touch. We are also happy to answer any of your questions. We put a number of those questions and replies on our Frequently Asked Questions section if we think they have wider interest.

We are also happy to provide details of your group’s website on our showcase section. We are keen to do anything we can to promote the undiscovered writers of the world.

Those that entered December‚s competition will be eagerly awaiting the results, as are we. Fiona Cooper, the judge, is working her way through the stories and has already found several that she really likes. We await her decision with interest.

All the best.

John Dean
