Holloway Rules

In Travel, Writing, websites on September 22, 2008 at 8:27 AM

is a short piece of my writing that appears in the current issue of ABC Tales magazine [issue 10]. It’s about Holloway Road — where the A1 hits London. ABCTales is a website where writers can post (and discuss) their work. The magazine comes out quarterly, I think, and contains selected work on the site as chosen by editor John Wilks. It can be downloaded from the link above.

Rejection U-turned

After literally getting a slap in the face from Holloway Road last week, here is some good news. I’ve had an offer of publication for a very short piece that I wrote, about – yes, Holloway Road. Not the sort of thing I normally write, it just came out on the bus one day. It didn’t seem to be flash fiction and I didn’t know what else to call it. The first story editor to read it pronounced it to be a “prose poem” (when rejecting it). Anyway, I dusted it off & sent it out again, and now the editor of a little magazine has asked if he can use it. Nice one.
