Hello, and thank you for visiting my site. I hope that you'll return often and always find something of interest about my world and what inspires me to pick up a pen. (This is a figure of speech, unfortunately. My handwriting is terrible!) Here's what I've been up to recently...

There has been a lot of discussion recently about the new contracts being rolled out for authors to sign before any new submissions are accepted. Some writers see these purely as a ‘rights grab’; others as their being inevitable in a diminishing market for print magazines.

Having read my own copy of the contract through several times but still being unsure about some of the implications, I’m very grateful to Simon Whaley for his research into the situation.

You can read all about it on http://simonwhaleytutor.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/dc-thomson-me-society-of-authors-and-dc.html
