I've been asked by those nice people at Eibonvale to let you know that... Eibonvale Press is issuing a call for submissions for an anthology of stories connected to the railway. The concept is pretty open but the book aims to gather a collection of works revolving around the railway with a modern and innovative aesthetic ranging from horror to surrealism and beyond. "Rustblind and Silverbright" will be published in 2013. It takes its title from a wonderful short story about trains by the German writer Wolfgang Borchert, who was said to have cut his trigger finger off on the Russian Front so that he couldn't serve the Nazis. Ponder that over your suburban breakfast. More info and the full guidelines can be downloaded at: http://www.eibonvalepress.co.uk/infoforwriters.htm So what are you waiting for? Cheers Terry |

Did the guidelines really have to be in pdf and rtf? There's nothing there that couldn't have been just easily included in the actual webpage... Puts me off right from the start. |

That's a bit unfair: people often like to print off guidelines for future reference. Some of us are offline for days at a time. |

And some of us have PCs that chug when their browser tries to open another programme like Acrobat. I guess it's just a matter of "You can't please everyone." |
