ABC Project Update: Deadline Announcement and Recap

The Toymakers by Robert Dinsdale, if anyone's wondering


Hi folks, 

This will, hopefully, be my final post on the subject for a while, barring questions answered. We've got a deadline now!

I'll be distributing the finished work to Draft2Digital's partners, listed here. It will be free to download. For reference, I'll also be writing and publishing under the pseudonym Polly Davenport. 

Submission deadline is Friday 17th July. I'd suggest getting submissions in a little earlier if you want any in-depth editing, but that's the only concrete deadline. 

Submissions should be sent to the usual email address (josie.anybutcovidproject@gmail.com), preferably as a Google doc or Word document. (Or just bung the text in an email body and I'll sort out the formatting.) To recap, the word limit for a story is 3000-9000, and additional rules and guidelines on content can be found here. A few additional thematic suggestions are in this post. Multiple submissions are allowed. 

Again thanks to anyone who's helped me get the word out, signal boosting is always useful. Good luck to all those participating, I'm really looking forward to reading your submissions. 

Let's continue to make lockdown somewhat more tolerable!
