And, finally for this year, some exciting extra news items:
Katherine Langrish wrote an essay called 'The Door in the Mound' for a book on writing fantasy published by Dead Ink, titled 'Writing the Magic' and available in paperback now. Her essay was the only one on writing fantasy for children, well worth getting hold of.
Jane Wickenden has seven stories in this intriguing collection, Myths in Isolation, coming January.
I will continue news round-ups on the 7th of each month. You can send me your items at any time.
Thanks!
Claire
