From SCN member Marlene Moore Gordon:
Dear Writers:
HandPrints stories celebrate relationships as the key element in all of our lives. They create, strengthen, and reinforce the bonds between people. A story can be a catalyst to create positive change in someone's life. Whether we connect around the corner or across the globe our stories enrich each other's lives. I need the help of talented writers like yourself to submit a short personal story about someone who has changed you forever. Visit the Handprints website for story submission guidelines and read a sample story. Since word of mouth is the best way to pass this message along, I am hoping you will help me to spread the word to your friends, family members and associates; anyone you feel might be interested in submitting a story. I believe that sharing your story can make a difference for someone else. You never know whose life you will touch or upon whose heart you may leave YOUR HandPrints. You may contact Marlene Moore Gordon with any questions or concerns you may have. I look forward to reading your wonderful and uplifting handprints story! Here are some simple guidelines for your story submission. Think for a moment of someone who has left an indelible impression in your life. It makes no difference if they were in your life for just an hour, a day, a season, or a lifetime. If knowing them has changed you for the better, they have left handprints on your heart. |

Albedo One (Ireland's premiere magazine of speculative fiction) has now launched the International Aeon Award 2008 short fiction contest. The Aeon Award is all about promoting new writers and writing in the speculative fields, which has long been the goal of Albedo One. The quality of stories and submissions to the first and second Award has served to affirm our faith in the value of the speculative genres, and in the direction they will be taking in the future. Last year's winner was Nina Allan's "Angelus", which was announced at a ceremony during the 29th European Science Fiction Convention, Copenhagen, Denmark, September 2007. The story will be published in issue 34 of Albedo One, due out in February. This year's contest is open to submissions of up to 8000 words (no minimum word limit) in any speculative fiction genre, from Fantasy and Science Fiction to Horror or anything in-between or unclassifiable. The judges have very broad tastes in this regard. The grand prize is 1000 euro and publication in Albedo One. Thanks to the success of last year's Award, we've been able to add a second and third place cash prize of 200 and 100 euro respectively for this year. The second and third place stories will also be published in Albedo One. The contest will run in four rounds from January 1st 2008 to November 30th 2008. Submissions can be made at any time between those two dates, and stories making the shortlist will be announced shortly after the end of each of the rounds, which end on March 31st, June 30th, September 30th and finally November 30th. After the last round, the top six stories from the shortlist will be chosen and passed on to respected science fiction, fantasy and horror author, Ian Watson, who will act as Grand Judge and pick the winner and second and third place stories.
The contest is open to writers from all nationalities, though the entries must be written in English. Indeed, we're keen to have entries from as many nationalities as possible! Full details and guidelines for entering the Award can be found on the Albedo One website. The entry fee for the Award is a paltry .7 (euro) and can be paid easily and securely on the Albedo One site. Email submissions may be made.

This got me to thinking that I would love to capture these stories as I believe this part of our population is very under represented or understood. I have a special interest in this project as both an Anthropologist specializing in women's issues but also as a Travel Writer. I want to connect with these women and am making every effort I can think of to accomplish my goal..." Interested? Please contact Kathy at joyeful1@earthlink.net. |

Common Ties is an interactive story blog. We publish the very best of the stories submitted to the site—and we pay these writers competitively for their personal stories. As you follow along you can submit a story as well as comment on our posts: www.commonties.com/blog. At its heart Common Ties is a grass-roots citizen journalism effort, but with a new take. It is based on the hunch that people write best about what they know best - their own stories and the stories of those around them. This is journalism at its most intimate; real stories of real people that illustrate who we are and how we are connected. And because we know this is hard work, we pay for the submissions we publish. |

Writers: Write from the Heart! Have your work read on Sirius Satellite Radio: "Writing From The Heart" with Nancy Slonim Aronie. "Writing from the Heart" is based on the workshops given by Nancy Slonim Aronie around the country for more than 18 years. "I don't teach writing. I just make it safe," she says. Each week, Nancy gives a prompt and writers submit pieces based on that assignment. Chosen writers read their pieces on the live show, and then others call in to tell the writer what they loved. It's about process; it's about telling your story; it's about silencing the internal critic. Nancy is the author of the book Writing from the Heart (Hyperion) and is a commentator on NPR's "All Things Considered". Read more about her at www.chilmarkwritingworkshop.com. You don't have to "be a writer" to read on the show—just write from the heart! Listen to the show for more information, or send an e-mail to writingfromtheheart@lime.com Nancy's "Writing from the Heart Workshop" can be found live ON AIR on Thursdays at 2pm EST on Sirius Lime radio 114. The show is also streaming live online at www.lime.com on Thursdays at 7pm EST, with encores on Tuesdays at 7pm, Fridays at 7am, & Sundays at 7am & 2pm.

Lesley Newson, a researcher in the school of psychology at the University of Exeter in England, asks for Story Circle's help with her project... Literally hundreds of women in England have taken part and many of them were members of writer's circles. Writers are are particularly well "qualified" to participate because taking part involves completing a story. It only takes a few minutes and is done online. Ms. Newson is interested in finding out about the advice people think someone would give in various circumstances. She is looking for realism, not bizarre twists. The study is here: psy.ex.ac.uk/christinaschoice. She cannot tell us any more about the study at this stage it but, if people who complete the study leave their email address on the study form, she will send them an email after the study is finished explaining what it was about and what the results show.
