Pensievers Direct Entry Contest
Here It is!
Our first endeavour as full fledged online promoters and we dare not forget our members. Our Pensievers!
As we have said before
The Tales Pensieve has always been about TALES.
It does not matter where the tales are from, who talks about them, what they talk about or what age they talk from – what matters is that they talk and we hear. And now we want to hear the tales that whisper to you, the tales that you want to whisper out and express. The tales that may make you a published writer.
A chance for short fiction writers amongst our members to get published in a paperback releasing by mid 2014.
The Tales Pensieve in association with
Half Baked Beans Publishing, The Book Bakers and ReviewStation.in Present:
