Dear ***** ,
I hope you are well? Many thanks for all your help in passing on our call for entries to your contacts and writers at Richmond Writers’ Circle. There are now just two weeks left until the deadline for the Aesthetica Creative Works Competition and it would be really great if you could just send one final reminder round to your lists and contacts to let them know that the deadline is impending!
It is a fantastic opportunity for writers to showcase their work to an international audience and we have a brilliant selection of prizes including a collection of books from leading publishers (Vintage Books and Bloodaxe) as well as publication in the Aesthetica Creative Works Annual and £500 prize money!
More information can be found at www.aestheticamagazine.com/creativeworks and even just a quick tweet would be super, many thanks! You can find us at www.twitter.com/aestheticamag. Many thanks for your time and I hope that your members and writers will be interested in taking part in the Aesthetica Creative Works Competition this year! Please do get in touch if you would like any further information about the competition at all.

Hi Richmond Writers,
I wonder if your group might like to take a look at a blog created by two Birmingham-based writers who are writing a comic fantasy novel as a collaborative effort, and blogging about the process.
We’re trying to make this a valuable and interesting resource for other writers, as we’re learning so many things along the way.

Is the creation of Iain Grant and Heide Goody, of Birmingham Writers Group.
If you’d like to comment and join in the fun, then so much the better!
Cheers
Heide Goody
