The site where you can explore and develop your creative writing skills, get your short stories and poems published online, receive feedback and writing tips for fiction and non-fiction, with particular support for writing about women, and where you can meet fellow writers.
Our project launched over four years ago, technologically speaking back in the dark ages. Our website has served us well but she's starting to look and feel her age. She's in desperate need of major surgery so we're taking the summer to rebuild her.
We will still be creating so do stay in touch... reviews, features, competitions and events can be found on our blog: http://hagsharlotsheroines.blogspot.com and on our MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/hagsharlotsheroines
We'll be back in the autumn when we'll be announcing the results of our summer competition - thank you to all who entered and the best of luck - and publishing a whole host of fabulous new writing.
Do keep sending your work in.
