New Story on Fleeting Magazine
I’m pleased to say that I’ve got a new short story online at the lovely Fleeting Magazine, home of much that is short and good. The story is a little confection called Footnotes in Search of a Story.

Art of Fiction – Blogging About Literature
- Writers & PoliticsAll writers are political, I think, but I've never thought - until recently - that's its helpful or necessary for writers to be party political.

- The Beatles and IWhen people ask me whether I like the Beatles, I've always said that I grew up with them, so like other memories from childhood they are a welcome memory, even if you eventually grew out of them in adulthood. Of course, you never can quite grow out of the Beatles, at least partly because of the nostalgic music industry putting out new "versions […]
- The Limits of TalentGoing through some old books I came across "Take 20" the UEA anthology from 1998 edited by Andrew Motion. I applied for the UEA creative writing course initial in 1996 and was told, I think, it was too late, but maybe I should try the following year. I did and got an interview. The course leader at that time was Andrew Motion, soon to be Poet Laure […]
- The Pyramid by William GoldingWilliam Golding's 6th novel "The Pyramid" (1967) was his most autobiographical.

Dear Adrian,
I am writing from Fleeting to let you know that we recently relaunched as Fleeting Books, a London-based literary consultancy, with a panel of published authors offering a range of editorial services. Although the magazine no longer exists as a separate entity, we continue to publish new short fiction and interviews on our website, and have several new projects in the pipeline.
I don’t know whether, having previously featured in the magazine, you would be interested in writing a post on your blog about the developments at Fleeting, but we wanted to keep you updated in any case, and hope that you are having success in your writing.
Please do pass the word on to any budding writers you may know, and we hope you enjoy our new website.
Best wishes,
Charlotte Seymour
Editorial Assistant
