ePOTB – publication opportunity for young writers and artists

September 12, 2017NewsPosted by Webmaster

Submissions of writing and artwork are invited for our first online edition of ePOTB. Pushing Out the Boat is looking for the best new work from young writers and artists aged 12 to 17. ePOTB will be published as an ezine on the Pushing Out the Boat website in Spring 2018 and a £50 prize will be awarded to the best contribution in each of the three categories: prose, poetry and art.

Submissions will be open from 23 September to 30 November 2017 and entries should be made online through the forms on our website. Follow this link for further details.

The Pushing Out the Boat team look forward to receiving entries and we wish you good luck!

All the web browsers I have checked (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera) have a built-in reader which will display PDF documents inline. If your browser starts up Adobe viewer or tries to download the document, then you may need to adjust your browser settings. If you need help with this, please get back in touch with me.

Alas, I don't have a Mac, so can't give you exact instructions for Safari but, if you need help with this, get back in touch with me and I will enlist the help of my son to come up with the recipe.

Want to read on a Kindle? PDFs can be read directly on the Kindle but there is no automatic line wrap which can mean you have to display at an uncomfortably small font size. It is possible to improve the readability of the file by using Amazon's own personal document conversion service:

Download the PDF file to your computer
Email the file to your Send-to-Kindle e-mail address with the Subject line: Convert
You can find your Send-to-Kindle e-mail address on your Kindle by going to Settings > Device Option > Personalize your Kindle on your e-reader.
