What's your story? Bookmark me, and win!


I saw these magnetic bookmarks at a Heathrow airport bookstore recently, and was inspired to buy them for my fellow Munich book club members - no guessing who's who!

As Waterstone's "What's your story?" competition has closed, and my short fiction entry has been published over at Bebo author, I am in competition mode.

If you fancy having a go, why not tell me your story, in 100 words or less, with a 'bookmark' to be included somewhere in the story or poem. The term 'bookmark' is open to interpretation. Open genres but all to be 'U' rated please. OK, I know there is a lot of discussion about and dislike of the upcoming book rating scheme, but you get the idea. Clean and suitable for all ages. Email entries to abbcompetition@gmail.com by August 24. Include your name or handle, year of birth (U18/over 18), location, any link(s) you want to associate with your entry (your web page/blog) and word count. By entering you agree to have your text appear on this blog in a post.

Winners can choose to receive either a bookmark from the fabulous Mr.Man & Little Miss series shown, or one of the five books in paperback form, offered as part of the Year of Reading giveaway (see previous post for details.) While we're talking of bookmarks, why not bookmark the blog, or sign up to the RSS feed to receive my posts?

100 words or less?

short and sweet - a character description, a poem, a scene - doesn't have to be a complete story. Give it a go? :-)
