Following the success of The Remarkable Everyday, London publisher Legend Press has announced details of the second book in the series, to be launched in October 2006. Developing the theme, it is looking for fictional stories of between 9,000 and 12,000 words which follow a character for a single day from a particular cultural angle.

As with The Remarkable Everyday, the story must provide an interesting and original insight into the everyday, and a diverse range of stories will be chosen for the collection. Legend Press is not looking for any political message or planning to provide an exhaustive list, but just a fictional snapshot into the lives of different people from different backgrounds. It also stresses that this doesn’t necessarily mean focusing on the main religious groups, but can be an examination of any cultural aspect of life.

Again, Legend Press is looking for an individual insight, which means a strong focus on the character’s thoughts, actions and emotions. As an examination of the everyday, science fiction, fantasy and thriller fiction are not recommended.

There are no restrictions on submissions.

Writers should send their work by post only to:

Legend Press, 13a Northwold Road, London N16 7HL, along with a SAE for return of the material.

The deadline for submissions is 30th June 2006 and writers will receive royalties from the collection.
