Last chance to enter the Childrens Radio Comp

Dear ABCtalers,

We have a wealth of new and excellent members as a result of our edition of The Big Issue - if you haven't been keeping up with the new work on the site then I recommend that you do! There's some great stuff.

I'd also like to remind you that the Children's Writing Competition closes at midnight on Monday 30th November. Full details of the rules and regulations can be found here:

We are constantly on the look out for new members and ways to boost our traffic. Please do flag up ABCtales to all of your friends and relations - and mention and, above all, link to us from your blogs, Facebook and Twitter accounts. It really does help. I have become a Twitterer today and I will be putting up daily suggestions of good reads. Do become a follower - I am tcookabctales. This is my Twitter account:

I am a complete novice at this stuff but I'm sure many of you are far more advanced - please do what you will to help spread the word.

We are looking for some members who are prepared to give us a couple of hours one evening in London to be part of a focus group on the future of the site. We need to know what it is you want out of a site like ours. We'd start at around 6.30 and be finished by 8 - although those who want to carry on and go for a drink or a bite to eat would be very welcome! Please email me at tcook@abctales.com if you would be willing to do this. It will be very helpful for our future plans.

And a final word - a massive thankyou to the many of you who have been donating to the site of late. Without you we would not survive. If you haven't donated recently and can afford to do so I do beg you to do it. Just click on the 'donate' link on the front page. You could even buy an ABCtales mug - that helps too!

We look forward to reading your works on ABCtales.com

All the very best,
Tony Cook and the team.
