Lancashire Evening Post seeks short story writers

The Lancashire Evening Post is looking for writers who would like to publish their work in their creative writing section in the Saturday edition of the newspaper each week.

The section is dedicated to the works of readers, and is a great opportunity for writers to get their work noticed. It's free of charge, and the LEP are looking to publish pieces of around 1,500 words. Short stories and extracts are most common.

If anyone is interested in this opportunity, please contact Editorial Reseacher Kay Taylor via kay.taylor@lep.co.uk with your work, citing their full name, age, where you live, occupation, marital status. You should also include a head and shoulders photograph.

"I do hope that people will take advantage of this," says Kay, "as the new-look Saturday paper is really taking off and is really focused on local communities and readers."
