Note to aspiring writers
It’s always good to hear from you, and I’m more than happy to answer your questions about the craft of writing and the publishing business if I can.  What I can’t do is undertake to read/critique your manuscript.  Nor can I help you find a publisher or agent.  Sorry, but if I said yes to the many requests I get I’d spend all my time reading your work and never doing my own.  The best advice I can offer if you want to be a writer is … write.  A lot.  And read copiously too, to learn from the way others do it. 
Good luck!

 DAVID GEMMELL AWARDS FOR FANTASY 2013

Here’s a press release recently sent out by the Gemmell Awards committee.  Please note that, as stated, the awards ceremony is an open, free event, but does not confer admittance to World Fantasy Convention.  You have to be a paid, registered member of the convention to attend that, and memberships have now closed, having reached their limit.  Though if you do want to attend the con you might be able to pick up an unwanted ticket from someone unable to attend.  It’s worth checking WFC’s Facebook page in this respect, here: https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/164901946886664/.
