    Who's in June's magazines due out today? My copies haven't arrived yet.
  • CarolCarol
    As our temporary postman delivered our next door neighbours post to us today, I don't know if it has arrived and is sitting on someone else's mat or not arrived yet.
  • Tessa TangentTessa Tangent
    I always seem to receive my copy last; well, in the UK anyway.  Gets right up my nose, that does.
  • TaffetaPunkTaffetaPunk
    Nope, haven't got mine yet, either.
  • AnyankaAnyanka
    Is it due yet? I'm a bit excited about this one...
  • ButterflyButterfly
    Anyaka, are you in it. What for? I haven't got my copy, hopefully they will arrive tomorrow. 
  • RichardSRichardS
    Not received mine yet, which hopefully means i'll get it tomorrow.

    Jay, I was getting worried as you hadn't posted this usual thread til now and I was thinking I had got dates muddled.
  • AnyankaAnyanka
    I'm in it. All shall be revealed in good time.
  • CarolCarol
    Our club should be in the Writers Round-UP section, and if I haven't been cut out of the photo, then you may see my head.
  • dorothyddorothyd
    no copies here yet.
  • Jay MandalJay Mandal
    Kateyanne - I overdid things on Tuesday morning, and have spent most of the time since then on the sofa. I'm on the mend now, touch wood.
  • StirlingStirling
    I know I haven't shut up about this for the last month, but my letter is in this issue.
  • VivViv
    This thread always come out before most of us have got our copies. I dread someone spotting that I am in there and telling the world before I find out for myself. Not that I am expecting a mention in June's issue as I haven't written a letter or won anything, but you never know! I do sometimes sneak into one of the competition shortlists.
  • Jay MandalJay Mandal
    Sorry, Viv. Next month, I'll try to remember to say 'Are you in the magazine?'
  • Stan2Stan2
    No June edition here yet.
  • StirlingStirling
    Just had a look at the front cover. 

    Write the perfect final draft.  Sounds ideal for me.
  • Island GirlIsland Girl
    Yayyyyyyyyy! (I'll get mine Monday or Tuesday.)
  • NefertariNefertari
    Glad you are all right, Jay.
  • CarolCarol
    Mine's arrived this morning. There are a few Talkbackers in WM.
    And my piece about Nottingham Writers' Club is in WN (with a few editorial changes as expected), with the colour photo. I'll tell you later which one is me.
  • scribescribe
    I spotted the Nottm Writers Club bit, that's not very far from me.
    I saw your letter too Stirling (well said) and was surprised to find my letter underneath yours. I didn't know mine was going in - or I wouldn't have shut up about it for the last month ;0)
  • CarolCarol
    Scribe we have the Derby Literature development Officer speaking to us on June 6th- if you're interested in that or the club e-mail me via Webbo's system.
    Congratulations to everyone in this month's magazine.
  • NefertariNefertari
    Well done, Carol just seen your piece.
    So which one are you then?
  • CarolCarol
    On the left hand side of the photo, back row, there is a tall man, the dark haired women with glasses next to him, is me.
  • josiehenleyjosiehenley
    I am in twice! Yipee. First one is an article about Legend Press on page 13 and I'm mentioned in there. Second one is page MN2 in the 'Members' News' section where they've got a photo of me and they've printed the article I wrote (well an edited version of it anyway). Anyone who hasn't got their copy yet can have a look on my Clippings page on my website http://www.josiehenley.net/clippings.html for both. In my article I'm complimentary about Talkback so you should all preen yourselves.

    Well done everyone else. I'm going to settle down and have a proper read of it now, as I only scanned it before and then leaped around waving it in the air, lol.
  • Tessa TangentTessa Tangent
    Mine plopped on the doormat today.  Will take my mind off other concerns.
  • BetsieBetsie
    Mine hit the hall floor this morning - well done everyone who's made an appearance
  • ButterflyButterfly
    Josie, I read both the piece about ledgend press and you and your own piece. Well done. I'm thinking about approching them myself, now I've seen your piece. Congratulations you must be flying high today. Keep up the good work. I am right in thinking your book was for children? As I am writing for children.
    Well done to everyone else too.
  • NefertariNefertari
    Carol, that was my guess.
  • CarolCarol
    At least I'm not a shock to anyone! And of course I'd done my hair, make-up and was wearing my favourite colour- so I looked okay.
  • AnyankaAnyanka
    If you want to see my shiny face, turn to p.22 of the Writer's News. Unfortunately they cropped the background, one of my paintings. I thought I could get a sneaky bit of extra publicity for my artwork...

    Oh, and there's a story next to the picture. First time I entered a competition since 1984 or so.
  • scribescribe
    You looked just fine, Carol :0)
    Unfortunately, your writers' club happens on the only night of the week when I can't cut loose. I run a folk club on Wednesday evenings so I'm stuck. Good piece though. Let's hope it brings your club new members
  • CarolCarol
    Good photo Anyanka. I wondered if it was one of the Talkbackers when I saw it. Will read the story later when it's quieter.
    Yes Scribe, I'm hoping it will get us some publicity and make others around the Nottingham/Derby area realise what they're missing out on. And hopefully get in touch.
    Wednesday's seems to be a popular day.
  • NefertariNefertari
    Anvanka, I enjoyed the story well done!
  • CarolCarol
    Anyone else, or is anyone still waiting for their issue?
  • Stan2Stan2
    Mine came today. Well done to all those who are in the pages of WM/WN.
  • KangarooKangaroo
    God knows when April will get here, hopefully not to much longer!
  • CarolCarol
    Very good story Anyanka, subtle. Well done.
  • josiehenleyjosiehenley
    I read the story last night, and I wholeheartedly agree! I for one would definitely rather be doing something else. I love the way you contrast the two main characters but the phrase does connect them, and the reader as well. Well done Anyanka.
  • josiehenleyjosiehenley
    Anyone seen my lovely face (lol) in the members news section? I have a problem in keeping my eyes open in pictures, no idea why!
  • CarolCarol
    It could have been because you were looking down at the book at the time! Well done, and it's nice (sorry) you thought about everyone here and at WN in your comments.
  • dorothyddorothyd
    you were being you, Josie, reading a book! Nice writeup, well done you!
  • SilentTonySilentTony
    Just read your story and I really liked it. I loved the metaphor of stripping away the layers to unearth your real self, like writing on a wall, obvious until it is revealed.

    Well done.
  • anaana
    Anyanka, just read your story. Well done, clever idea and well written. How's the padding for the agent going?
  • AnyankaAnyanka
    Thanks for asking, Ana - I've only just started writing the extra chapter! My exhibition took up all my time until last week, and now I'm starting to prepare for June's "Surrey Artists' Open Studios". I foolishly volunteered to be local co-ordinator this year...
  • dorothyddorothyd
    Anyanka, just got to the story, it's great!  Really well balanced and I like the way Pete saw through her posing!  Congratulations!
  • AmandaAmanda
    anyanka a huge well done for the story.  it was really good. as dorothyd said well balanced indeed.  the picture is great.  funny seeing yourself in a magazine isnt it! i am in June issue of cross-stitcher magazine with a photo. spooky!
  • AnyankaAnyanka
    [blushing] Thank you, everyone.
  • RadamesRadames
    I'm waiting to read this thread. My copy still hasn't arrived (frustration).
  • HowardHoward
    My copy arrived today. I'm looking forward to reading it later and seeing some familiar names and faces.

    One thing that struck me was how there seemed to be more women featured in WN in June than men. Doing a quick count of the individual photos, excluding groups or reporters there are 22 women and 6 men. In May it was 16 women to 10 men. It's not an in depth study by any means but it says something. (Perhaps that I should find better things to do with my time!)
