I’m making the most of my recent success with Elle magazine – thank you for all your comments and encouragement. While I don’t want to be the sort of blogger who spends posts boasting, it is gratifying to celebrate the markers of progress. I started writing in 2009, and had my first story published in 2010 with a payment of £25. Other stories and flash fiction followed, both online and in anthologies. My shelfie shows where you’ll find my writing in print and I’d like to thank all those who have made it possible for my stories to reach an audience. These include:
- Julie Musk at Roving Press
- Rachel Carter at Flash Fiction South West
- Debz Hobbs-Wyatt at CaféLit
- Louise Pennington at EVB Press
- Craig Hart at The Rusty Nail
- Unbound Press/Spilling Ink
- Writers Abroad
- Wimborne Writers
- The Winchester Writers’ Conference
- The Rosemary Project
All the time, new opportunities to become published are available. I’ll try to keep you updated with these through regular blog posts. Good luck with getting your writing out there.

Well done Gail – why not boast!
You’re welcome. So pleased you are in the anthology Dorset Voices. You are so dedicated, you deserve every success.
Thanks, Julie
Congrats Gail Well done !!!!! Regina
