Fun

To prove there’s more to writing than grit and grammar, there are currently six ways to submit fun stuff to Mslexia. Our limerick slot has closed, but our appetite for daftness continues.

What you're saying

Get in touch with us about Mslexia! We want to hear all your thoughts and opinions on the the latest issue, your publication success stories, your experiences of our online events. Any likes or gripes you may have, send them our way. Selected letters will be published in the 'forum' section of the upcoming magazine.

Writing nest

Send a photo of the place where you write – your desk, armchair, café corner, bath – along with up to 50 words about why it works (or doesn’t work) for you. Pop along to Meet the Readers for an example.

Bear necessities

Tell us about an object, ritual or creature that helps with your writing: e.g. teddy, terrier or tea in your lucky mug. Send a colour photo of your ‘necessity’, plus up to 50 words of explanation.

Unsure about eligibility, formatting, or what happens to your work after you submit? Visit our Submissions Policy page.

Deadline for inclusion in issue 104: 7 Oct 2024
