Dear Mr. Pinnock,
I would like to know if it is possible to have one of your short stories (Natural Selection) in a web written format. It happens that I am an English teacher here in Brazil, and I was surfing the web when I saw shortsoryradio website. I planned some activities for my students but it is missing the text only, for there there is no written text, only audio available.
Could you, please, help me?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks!

@jeremy: Thanks for dropping in, and good luck with your submission. I’ve had a couple of pieces read out at Liars’ League, and also a piece read as part of a fringe theatre production, and there’s nothing quite like hearing a real actor read something you’ve written.

@gay: Eurofiction (run by SlingInk – see -> for link) and the Whittaker Prize (run by The Write Idea – ditto) are held over an extended period (20 weeks in the case of EF and 18 in the case of the Whittaker), where you have to write a piece in response to a different challenge every two weeks. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to get their muse in gear. I’ve done two EF’s and I’m just coming to the end of my second Whittaker, and I’ve got some really useful material as a result.

Congrats! I take it Eurofiction is a collection competition? Terrific that you’ve placed so many.

I currently have a story out to a market that produces them into audio files. My fingers are crossed for myself and my thumbs are up for you! Let us know when we can give it a listen.
