The Reader Classic Rescue Prize No closing date If the world's libraries were burning which book would you save? Write and tell us which classic (for these purposes, that's simply any book originally published more than 75 years ago) you would like to save for future generations. It might be a book that everyone knows - from the Odyssey to Emma - or it might be something that you think has been unjustly forgotten - Mrs Oliphant's Autobiography, for example. It could be a book which has fallen out of print or it could be selling hundreds every month. Fiction, biography, poetry, thought, the category doesn't matter: the main criteria for your choice should be that you think it's a book the world cannot afford to lose. A Classic Rescue review will be published in each issue of The Reader and the winner will receive 15 great titles from the Oxford World's Classic series. Keep your review to a maximum of 850 words, including plenty of quotations to give our readers the feel of the thing, and send it, marked Classic Rescue, to: The

THE PETER POOK
HUMOROUS NOVEL COMPETITION (To
celebrate the 90th anniversary of the birth of Peter Pook on 25th
April 1918 and
to commemorate the 30th anniversary of his death on 8th
September, 1978)
Closing Date for Entries: 25 April, 2008 This
is a FREE competition, in two parts, aimed at finding a modern successor to the
late PETER POOK. A new edition of standard size (120mm x 180mm) paperback
Pooks is being published by Emissary Publishing with captivating new cover
designs by Richie Perrott.
The winner of
the competition will be announced on 8th September 2008 and published
by Emissary Publishing within one year. PART
ONE Based
on the premise that all good writers should also be diligent readers Part 1
of the
competition takes the form of three simple questions, the answers to which can
be reached by reading “Going Through The Motions” by Lesley Bown, last winner of
the Peter Pook Humorous Novel Competition published by Emissary. To obtain a
copy you may beg (from a friend!), borrow (from the library), or buy (from your
local bookseller or direct from Emissary Publishing). PART
TWO
Having
completed Part 1, you should now proceed to Part 2 which requires you to submit
a synopsis and first chapter/chapters (maximum 5,000 words), of a humorous
novel, of any genre, style, location, subject, so long as it is funny, well
plotted and well written; slapstick comedy written in a slapstick manner will
not enhance your chances of winning.
We are looking
particularly for a three-dimensional, main character, and a fresh, modern
approach. What we do not want is a carbon copy of someone else’s style.
The novel
should be between 50,000 and 55,000 words long, should not contain scenes of
explicit sexual behaviour or gratuitous violence. We are looking for family
style humour for adults.
The decision of
the judges is final, and no correspondence will be entered into.

Kenneth Grahame Society – Short Story
Competition Closing date: July 31st
2008 As part of the Kenneth
Grahame Society's celebration of the centenary year of The Wind in the
Willows, a short story competition is being held to echo some of beauty
of Kenneth Grahame's classic. This is a unique opportunity for creative
writers everywhere to write a short story in the same style as The Wind
in the Willows and have it published. It is, similarly, a unique
opportunity for academic writers to use creative writing as an
alternative approach for presenting some new insights into the book. And
it is an opportunity for all to pay homage to their favourite book and
add to The Wind in the Willows canon.
Prizes
1st £500 2nd £150 3rd £100
If there is a good response and sufficient
strong entries, a number of further entries, along with the top three,
will be published in a collection of short stories at the end of the
year. These entries will be awarded a £50 prize and a copy of the book.
There is no entry fee.
Title/Theme The title is open, but the
story is to be written as a sequel, prequel or countertext to The Wind
in the Willows.
Guidelines and Formats The length of the short
stories should be approximately 5000 words - similar to the average
length of the chapters in The Wind in the Willows. (Entries of 4500-6000
words will be accepted.) The cover page should
clearly state the title and number of words, and provide essential
contact details - name, address, email address and phone number. Entries should be printed
on A4 paper with double line spacing and wide margins. (No handwritten
entries, please.) After the judging of the entries, authors of the
winning short stories will be asked to submit their story in MS Word
format and append a brief biography. Entries will be judged for
their plausibility and continuity as a Willows sequel (or prequel or
countertext), as well as for the quality of their storyline and style.
Entry Deadline and
Results Entries must be recieved
by July 31st 2008. The winning entry will be announced and read at the
Kenneth Grahame Society's Willows celebrations in Fowey, Cornwall, on
