Inspired by a clipping I’d cut from a newspaper years earlier, I started a monthly writing magazine in 2002. A labour-of-love and only just covering costs, it’s a lot of work but enormously satisfying. It’s wonderful to be able to help fellow writers achieve publication dreams.

Actually, this is a voting security feature. During public voting, only club members can read posts submitted for that contest. Since anyone reading the story is able to vote (click the Like button), we reserve these capabilities to members who SignIn. Before we implemented this security feature, people were voting multiple times and making the public voting process unfair and out of balance. To fix this, our staff finally decided to allow only members who SignIn to read the stories. Membership is free and easy, and ensures our club is safe, secure, and family-friendly!

You are very kind, Sandra. And very helpful to other writers for them to grow their writing careers. A nice memory.
Thank you, Lotchie. Almost every week I receive a letter or email from someone telling me how much it means to be published. It’s a nice feeling to know you’ve done that for someone, especially as I like seeing my stories and poems in print. I think it’s my way of paying it forward and I’ve been lucky to have lots of people who’ve been kind to me ?
You’re welcome, Sandra. I feel so happy to know that I’ve met a person like you. You keep inspiring me.

The feeling is mutual, Lotchie! I am also glad to have connected with you on Voice-Club and perhaps one day we will be able to travel again and have the chance to meet in person. Your kind and thoughtful comments inspire me, too! ?
Yes, Sandra. I am looking forward to meeting you in person when there is no travel restriction anymore.
This makes my heart smile, Sandra. You’re in the business of making dreams happen, you should be proud.

Wow, thank you, Melissa, that means a lot! I love that phrase ‘in the business of making dreams happen’. We are fortunate to know the feeling of having a piece of writing accepted, published or win a prize and I love that I am able to be the bearer of good news, especially when a new writer submits something. ?
This is really good stuff, Sandra. Honestly, I think you’re a good human. It has been a tough year for many and I think you’re doing a great service for those that may be struggling with confidence or mental health even.
