Writer's Muse 66. The Statue of Liberty by Carl Palmer. CHEQUES PAYABLE TO 'JIM PALMER' AND NOT 'WRITER'S MUSE' (see below for more information).

SATURDAY 31st MARCH, 2012 - Issue 66 will be posted on MONDAY 2nd APRIL, 2012. It's been noted that Writer's Muse may be difficult to obtain in the near future. Please do not feel free to request extra copies, or subscribe under silly names. We feel that the other 70 million people of the UK deserve their copies and frivolous requests will not be tolerated. Although, in the spirit of free enterprise, and as an homage to the government, those who request extra copies with a 'donation' to have a Big Mac with the editor in the palatial office of Writer's Muse, will be given consideration. And a doggy bag of tax-free merchandise. The Freedom of Information Act currently states that we have to inform you of writers in the next issue, below.

On an unrelated note, one of the students in my Creative Writing group, Catherine Jones, has won first prize (£2000.00) in The Cheshire Prize for Literature 2011, with her story being anthologised shortly. The Awards Evening was held at The University of Chester and prizes were presented by Tony Robinson. For more information take a look at: http://www.chester.ac.uk/node/11030

Problems with our so-called business account (and so-called bank) mean all cheques should be made payable to "Jim Palmer" and NOT "Writer's Muse". Apologies for any inconvenience.
