Nigerian writers, another call to write!

I received another e-mail some time ago. This one is from Nelson Publishers and they request a short story on the general theme "Living in Lagos -The frustration, the fun, challenges, opportunities etc of life in a mega city." to be included in a "Compilation of short stories". I've been meaning to post this for some time but I've not really got down to doing it. With the deadline fast approaching, and not having started to write anything myself, I thought it best to make it available here so my readers can take advantage of it. Read on ...

Thanks for the information. I would have loved to particiapte but unfortunately Monday is too soon. Interesting that a Nigerian Publisher is organising a short story competition. I will however be on the lookout for future contests from them.

Have a blessed day
