Actually it sounds fairly reasonable. I was in an anthology that sold well in Tesco and didn't get a penny. The charity ended up getting only about 1,600 if memory serves. <BR/>What's the alternative? Where else would you send your story for more dosh. Anyway, you might win!Emerging Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06539530495238043923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684536971172270103.post-74153185438761772782009-02-01T02:14:00.000+00:002009-02-01T02:14:00.000+00:00This particular contest appealed to me, mainly bec...This particular contest appealed to me, mainly because I have an idea for an Austen-style story that's been rattling round in my head for a while, but have you looked at the terms & conditions?<BR/><BR/>Leaving aside for a moment the entry fee, which is inevitable in these kinds of things as far as I can tell, but "Chawton House Library has the unrestricted rights to publish the winning stories via a publisher of its choice as well as retaining the unrestricted rights to use the winning stories and any related material for PR purposes".<BR/><BR/>So for a net 30 quid, they buy publication rights? I've been looking at a few competitions, but this is the first one I've looked closely at, as the others didn't inspire me. Are all competition T&Cs so restrictive?Gerard Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351719894813777997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684536971172270103.post-48569878540726357762009-01-30T11:40:00.000+00:002009-01-30T11:40:00.000+00:00Ooh I do like the sound of this one, thanks :o)Ooh I do like the sound of this one, thanks :o)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05986874444030474719noreply@blogger.com
