Welcome to the February Newsletter How time flies. Thankfully we have said good bye to the marathon that is January, never to be seen again until next year. We can now brush off the winter gloom and focus on our projects for 2026. We have now finished merging our three websites into one and all the data is now on the All Your Stories and Poems website. This will hopefully make it easier for our contributors and readers to find what they are looking for. It also means in the All Yours office we can now concentrate on just one website and invest our time and a very small amount currency into making it quicker and better. I hope you have noticed the difference. Our first deadline of 2026 is nearly upon us ( 18th February) we look forward to your contributions. We are eager to pick up on some ideas from our last generation of magazines The Writers and Readers Magazine. We are asking for articles containing help and advice for our writers. Whilst social media can be a good tool for help we like to highlight our more experienced contributors who have been there, done that! So any little tidbit will be useful to our writing hopefuls. Our main aim of the magazines we publish are to give new and aspiring writers a chance to be published so advice please. We would also like to reinstate author interviews, these should take the form of interviewing an author you are familiar with ( or maybe not!), not I hasten to add an interview with yourself! Which we have received in the past. More details soon on the website. Here is a reminder of our new email addresses for your contribution: fictionsubmissions@allyourstoriesandpoems.com nonfictionsubmissions@allyourstoriesandpoems.com Please put the genre in the subject line. Read and follow the guidelines and remember to polish your work as we do not edit, so badly presented with errors will not be considered. The office will be closed for vacation from 6th March to 30th March. We will not have access to emails at this time so do not panic if you don’t get a reply.

Wishing you all well and happy writing and reading Ed.
