Greetings, my faithful public!

Just got back from Frankfurt and visiting the big Book Fair. Was lots of fun, and it is quite cool to be a part of something like that and actually wander around like you belong there.
Not much plugging to be done, sadly; most publishing companies represented were the huge "you-require-an-agent-to-be-acknowledged-here" type. I did talk to someone from a small London-based publisher and there's an interesting opportunity there of submitting work for their upcoming short story anthology of new authors.

On other writing stuffs: I recently submitted a story to another magazine, Whispers of Wickedness, and made it through the initial reading. They are hanging onto it for a good while now to see if I'll make the actual magazine. Still, it's quite cool ^^

In the upcoming week, there will be much writing and submitting to several magazines and of course the publisher.
Expected updates on here will mostly be image pieces, though I do want to work on a larger piece (which will most likely be too long for submitting to magazines, which usually have a 4000 word limit).

Things are being put into motion now, so stay tuned!

Love,
Fuzz

Hey, my dad was at the book fair! He is one of those "agent" publishers, though.

...oh, and he publishes media and humanities, so he wouldn't be much of a help anyway XD He said it was an impressive book fair though!

Looking forward to the new works! I wish I were as prolific
Actually read about this thing in an Associated Press report on my Wii! :D Most interesting. I would have been severely intimidated by being surrounded by al those professional writers and publishers. I would not have enjoyed myself as much, I think. But I'm glad you did! :w00t:

Fafnir was one, Saint George killed one, and, rather worryingly, Bruce Lee entered one...
The fair was quite impressive, yeah. HUGE. Quite fun ^^

It wasn't as official as you would expect. I had dressed up somewhat nicely (shiny shoes, white tshirt, fancy jacket but jeans), which was nice, but there were all kinds of people there. Even this bloke in tartan hotpants. o.O

Also, you don't really recognise who all the publishing people are, so it's hard to be intimidated <g>
