Rolling Stories

I recently received an email from Bob Whittington, a UK-based buyer of my course Write Any Book in Under 28 Days.

Bob said in his email, "I am spreading your gospel on a new website I have launched today to encourage creative writing - particularly among schools - www.rollingstories.co.uk - I would value your comments."

I took a look at the site and was duly impressed. Rolling Stories is designed to promote and encourage fiction writing. It's free to join, attractively designed, and members (schools and individual writers) can get involved in various ways. One of my favourites is the "Rolling Stories" concept of the title. In this section the opening paragraphs of a story are provided, and members are invited to log in and continue the narrative with their own 250-word contribution.

Also on the site you'll find a five-minute writing challenge, for which Bob kindly gives me credit.

Rolling Stories has only just been launched, so some parts of the site look a little empty at the moment. However, as the word spreads, I'm sure it will get busier. If your interests include fiction writing, you should definitely check Rolling Stories out. In addition, if you're a teacher, you might like to consider applying on behalf of your school.
