Welcome to Mslexia
SUMMER 2010
Welcome to the Mslexia website – and to a taste of what our brand new issue offers! For starters, we are dead excited about our first-ever graphic article by poet and artist Jay Bernard featured in the Jul/Aug/Sep issue. We’ve also got some terrific new writing – a mix of prose and poetry selected by The Independent’s Christina Patterson – plus an article on how to handle the credit crunch as a journalist (hint: follow the money).
Here in the office, we are watching poetry competition entries fly in, wondering who will be the happy winners chosen by judge Vicki Feaver. The competition is now closed, though, so thanks to all who have entered. Winners will be notified mid-September – good luck! For ongoing composing and writing inspiration, you can still visit our series of specially commisioned poetry workshops by Jane Holland, exclusive to Mslexia – or check out the workshops page. And don’t forget that you can still read our Short Story Competition winners, too.
If you fancy your chances at winning something, but aren't a poet – or are, and are feeling lucky! – scroll down our homepage for our latest competition. You can now win the beautiful 50th anniversary hardback edition of To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
Appetites whetted? Sign up for a Mslexia subscription (available in both print and digital editions), or sample one issue for £5.50 (our in-shop price: we cover your postage!)
And don’t forget to stay in touch with us in between issues: find us on Facebook and Twitter, and visit our blog for in-house updates.
Here’s to an increasingly sunny summer!
