New collaborative writing competition

As part of the 2008 National Year of Reading there's some great new things going on in writing in the UK.

If you are looking for a showcase for success that may be a springboard to future greatness, then check out the new online competition from greenmetropolis.com. theGreenStory.co.uk is a creative writing competition designed to encourage reading and writing while at the same time raise awareness of environmental issues. Each month you can logon and read the story so far, and then write what you think the next chapter should be, or you can read the submitted entries for that month and vote for your favourite to become the next chapter! The competition will run for 10 months to create a book with 10 chapters and will then be published as 'The Green Story' at the end of the year and sold in time for Christmas, with all proceeds going to the Woodland Trust.
