'City Smells' is a new literary project set up by the Edit Red Writing Community.
We are running three writing competitions, Flash Fiction, Creative Non-Fiction and Poetry, all with the theme 'City Smells. The winners of each of these competitions will win $100. But more than this, we will take the best work from each competition and compile a paperback 'City Smells' anthology. The writers who make it into the 'City Smells' anthology will each receive free copies of the book and be paid a royalty in book sales.
To submit to these competition and stand a chance of being published in the 'City Smells' book you must be a member of Edit Red, as the submission process is automated. Joining Edit Red and entering these competitions is 100% free. If you make it into the book, we will pay royalties based on book sales.
Edit Red has existed for many years and was created and is still managed today by non-fiction author Alan Emmins, creative writing teacher Chris Lee Ramsden and literary reviewer Sean Merrigan.
To grab the eyes of you and other people on this page.. and (soon to be on) writer's cafe.
suggestion: when you are sharing work, it wouldn't be really nice to just have a check list of all the people you want to send it to instead of individually sending out a share letter to EVERY person on your list..
regardless, WC has been so good for me. I have only been there for 5 months (not even) and I'm ranked in the top 400- it's given me so many great friendships and the feedback is better than anywhere else I've ever received it.
I am inviting all writers here to come add a Kurt Vonnegut memory to my blog. I am so saddened by his death. This is one of those times I am happy to be surrounded by other writers. They understand what a sad day this is.
Kurt Vonnegut Jr. has slipped past us again. Just a moment ago he was here, going on and on about this and that, and now, he simply isn't.
------
If you look very closely at the spot where he was last seen you might see a slender shimmering beam of silver dust shooting away to the sky.

I suspect that Kurt will be reconfiguring soon enough. He's bound to have some stories to tell those entertainment starved Tralfamadorians!
