CHEQUES PAYABLE TO 'JIM PALMER' AND NOT 'WRITER'S MUSE' (see below for more information).

FRIDAY 2nd DECEMBER, 2011. Issue 64 is now back from the printers and will be posted off to eager hands and eyes over the weekend. If you have eager extremities and eyes, or would like to quench that literary thirst, please see the ABOUT link. See below for writers in this issue.

On a happy 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.
