This month I’ve got a lot on my plate elsewhere, so just doing a little check-in with all you readers, writers and editors to give you an update.

A lot to contend with – miniatures painted and decorated by Leilanie Stewart
Those of you who have sent books/ magazines for review…you haven’t been forgotten! I will get round to reading and reviewing your work as soon as I can, though it might take a couple of months. Thanks for sending your poetry pamphlet/magazine issue and novel for consideration.
Readers & writers, I’ll post more competitions when I can get my head out of the sand. Or maybe the sand out of my head.
If only a writer could live in a world where other earthly matters didn’t exist…how much brain power would be freed up to write? It could be scary!
About Leilanie Stewart
Leilanie Stewart is an award-winning author and poet from Belfast, Northern Ireland. She writes ghost and psychological horror, as well as experimental poetry. Her writing confronts the nature of self; her novels feature main characters on a dark psychological journey who have a crisis and create a new sense of identity. She began writing for publication while working as an English teacher in Japan, a career pathway that has influenced themes in her writing. Her former career as an Archaeologist has also inspired her writing and she has incorporated elements of archaeology and mythology into both her fiction and poetry.
In addition to promoting her own work, Leilanie runs Bindweed Anthologies, a creative writing publication with her writer husband, Joseph Robert. Aside from publishing pursuits, Leilanie enjoys spending time with her husband and their lively literary lad, a voracious reader of sea monster books.
