(1/2) We seem to put this out constantly, but could you please put your details on your submission. We receive hundreds of stories and there are lots with only the story title and not even a name. Stories are saved and then when we go to read them there are no details at all...

Hello! Just a quick message from the Fiction Team. We receive a HUGE amount of stories. We download them into folders for reading and it takes up precious time if we open your story and there are no details on it. PLEASE put your details at the top of your WORD document.

I've had the BEST day visiting the offices of DC Thomson in Dundee, where my weekly soap opera Riverside is published in @Thefriendmag The magazine is a powerhouse and I wouldn't be the writer and author I am without it.
