There’s something about a postcard* – the image that captures the view and then in that small white space just about enough room for a ‘hello, wish you were here,’ a neat piece of flash fiction, a polished description, or even a poem. Perhaps that’s why I like SetInModern’s idea of submitting your summer postcards for their summer-calls-for-submission. It costs to submit your 500 words (although not if you’re a member) but they pay for published pieces – publication and a fee – now that can’t be bad.
*My friend and writing buddy, the writer Wendy Robertson is currently on holiday in the beautiful South West of France. She has written a number of postcards and posted them on here on her blog – lovely idea.
In my newsletter this week – competition and submission opportunities, and ‘writing from the drawer.’ You can sign up for it on the right and get a free PDF on writing short stories (your privacy is always respected)
