Submission Guidelines:

In the first instance please submit work to our forum from where we'll choose at least one of the stories featured on the site. The Tell Tales format is stories of 2500 words or less

 Welcome to the second edition of our e-zine. The new Tell Tales anthology is out at the beginning of next week so we will soon be featuring a story from it as one of our longer stories. In the meantime, we have, again, a story plucked from our online forum, as well as one thrown in from the side. In fact, since we've been so caught up with editing the book, we haven't done a lot of reading of new work, so Nii has sacrificed one of his new stories to be the longer story for this issue. Nevertheless we are working very hard on crafting this section of the site and we hope that by the end of this year it will be one of the leading online literature sites in the UK - if not the world!

Thank you,
The Editors
