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

WEDNESDAY 1st February, 2012. Issue 65 is at the printers and will be rampaging through letterboxes around the country soon. If you have letterboxes with academic leanings, 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

Our other services include: editing, copy-editing, proofreading, graphic design, printing and publishing, business stationery. All our graphic design, editing and publishing is in-house, so we have first-rate experience and a long pedigree.

If you are a writer, or have a small business, and require any of the above services at exceptionally competitive rates, see the ABOUT link - and let us help you. Alternatively, e-mail any of our addresses and request our e-catalogue.

If you'd like to know how to receive copies of WRITER'S MUSE, please click on the ABOUT link.

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.
