WritersReign is a website dedicated to assisting writers to improve their work and get published.

My aim is to provide resources, articles, links and downloads to help the aspiring writer to get on with it and produce something that will prove satisfying and rewarding to both writer and reader. After all, writing should be fun. Hard work, yes, but fun as well. If you don’t get a buzz from your creative output then it really can be the pits. But get those creative juices flowing and the adrenaline pumping and writing can be the best occupation on the planet.

“FILTHY LUCRE”

The cost of hosting and maintaining this site comes directly out of my own pocket. In an attempt to defray this enormous burden there are links to an excellent range of books from Amazon.co.uk, which if you kindly buy one or two, the resultant miniscule commission might enable myself, my wife and our 14 starving children to eat once in a while and possibly keep us out of the workhouse. There are also links to suppliers of Fine Art Prints and Posters with the same aim. All contributions gratefully received, Squire, Ma’am (tugs forlock obsequiously).

Thanks for visiting WritersReign.co.uk

I hope you found it useful and informative and that it has given you some incentive to get writing and keep writing. And why not take the plunge and get some of your work into electronic format? Put the result on a floppy disk and plague your friends with it. E-mail it willy-nilly to all and sundry. Go on - enjoy yourself!

WritersReign is regularly updated, and any suggestions, information on competitions, or even moans and grouses (if you’re bellyacheing about the subject of writing), are welcomed. I’m sitting here in my lonely garret just waiting to hear from you.

I wish you every success with your writing. Please call again soon.

Mervyn Love

BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF YOUR EDITOR

Mervyn Love was born a century and a half ago (well, it feels like it sometimes) in the village of Reepham, Lincolnshire, and has never looked back. It is this geographical origin that has led to his sincere conviction, up until quite recently, that the earth really was flat.

Mervyn failed his ‘O’ Level Maths at the age of 30, having been something of a slow learner, and ironically has earned his living by crunching numbers in the finance departments of several companies, including Enron and WorldCom. Which just goes to show that all the months studying to gain ‘A’ Levels in Quantum Physics, Civil Engineering, and Cross-stitch in the 13th Century were a complete waste of time.

Recreations include ropeless abseiling, desert pot-holing, lounging in front of the TV and tiddly-winks. The latter being a left-over from the time he captained the Frodingham Flyers to victory in the Lincolnshire and South Humberside Tiddly-winks Championships in 1954 against reigning champions the Appleby Aces. The Flyers won by two whizzers and a scrimp in a nail biting final round at the Grimsby Fish Gutters Centennial Hall.

His award-winning site for aspiring writers, WritersReign.co.uk (Best Cloned Site 2002 in the ‘Web Sites Thrown Together With Little Or No Thought’ category) was recently voted Site Most Likely To Be Ignored In The 21st Century, and has received several similar accolades.

His ambition is to one day get out of bed before 11.00am and beat his wife at Scrabble, but not both on the same day.
