Prospective competition entrants - just a quick note to remind you that, with the archaic technology we have at our fingertips, we are unable to open .docx or .wps files. You must send your entries as .doc or .rtf files, or at a pinch as PDFs, otherwise we'll have to ask you to try again.
(We'd also love you lots if you used single spacing and pressed the tab button rather than making multiple assaults on the space bar every time you want to create a paragraph indent, but I suppose that's just being picky. When formatting pieces for inclusion in the book, we make them single spaced, fully justified, 12 point Times New Roman with 5mm paragraph indents, and we replace any double spaces after full stops with single ones. That's just a suggestion, you know, if you're hunting around for a format.)
We're working on Ada and More Nano-Fiction at the moment, correcting the first draft of the PDF, and also we're liaising with the winners of the Young Writers' Competition and tweaking Ada's cover and answering emails and sometimes we sit in the garden 'cause it's quite sunny. If you wanted to know what we're doing. Goodo.

About Me
- Leaf Books
- Leaf Books is an independent book publishing company based near Cardiff, South Wales. The people at Leaf Books aren't completely daft. They know that reading is a) brilliant, b) super and c) smashing. They make lots of lovely books, and then they send them off on pan-galactic adventures to find hands and eyes and internally-resplendent heads to entertain. Leaf Books hopes to make short story writers and poets feel proud and resourceful. This blog is a place where people who work at Leaf go to write about working there. We're not mean and we certainly like satsumas. For more information on what we’re about, tramp over to our website and have a whizz about.

I like the upbeat write up in the About Me section! Is there the option to subscribe so entries get emailed to my inbox?
Ooh. Interesting question. D'you know, I'm sufficiently dense re. Blogger than I have absolutely no idea, though presumably you can create a feed of the blog. You can subscribe to our newsletter though - look at our website or just drop as an email and we'll add you to the list.
Of course the other thing (depending on your Word version) is that the file may have been created with the latest version of Works & is not compatible (for some reason) with an older copy of Word. Or you can also request the sender to match the version of software that you have to their when sending a file.
