100 word competition!

Just heard about a 100-word microstory competition which is part of The Lost World Read 2009 reading campaign (organised in Glasgow by Aye Write! and in Edinburgh by the Edinburgh UNESCO City of Literature Trust).  

Each week a 100 word diary entry in a lost book  is invited and the winning entry is included in the book.  Goes on till next July – no prizes, just the fun of the challenge and the glory of being included.  For more info, have a look at the website.  It links on to another site about Conan Doyle’s The Lost World with details of  associated events round the UK about both Conan Doyle and Darwin.   Some interesting stuff in Glasgow and Edinburgh which counts as local for me!
