I can never think of a good way to start these things. So, in this instance, I’ve used a visual aid. Yes, that is my actual face and just some of the thoughts rattling around my head.

I’m currently putting together our Autumn/Fall issue, which will be coming out this coming Saturday (18th October). We have four very different, very funny stories that I can’t wait to share with you. We have also just opened up submissions for our Winter issue. This is a slight departure from our standard (and usually, very popular) Christmas issue. As the Autumn issue brought in a wider scope of stories than the usual Halloween call, we thought we’d follow suit with our final issue of the year.

As always, a huge thank you to every single writer who takes the time to share their words with us. The nature of submissions means that, sadly, some of you will be disappointed. I’d encourage everyone who gets a ‘no’ to keep going. Keep working on your craft, keep looking for places to submit to. You may have to take no for an answer far too many times than you’d like, but you don’t have to give up.

Keep laughing,

Scott

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to send in a story for our Autumn/fall issue. Submissions are now closed and we are in the process of reading your submissions.

You will be hearing from us soon!

Hello there!

We’ve been a little quiet since the release of our last issue. Both Amanda and I have been busy with other projects, which you will hear more about soon.

I’m delighted to open our submission call for our upcoming Autumn (Fall) issue. Usually, we do a Halloween-only theme. This year, we’ve decided to expand that a little and can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Unfortunately, we are not able to offer the ‘standard’ rate that we have been paying for the last few years. Times are hard, and the continuation of Humour Me has been a debate. However, I’ve managed to find some loose change down the back of the sofa, and we will continue to be a paying market.

Keep Laughing,

Scott

Hello, all. I’d like to thank everyone who has shown an interest in our inaugural writing competition, Humour Me Gold.

We have decided to extend the submission deadline to June 14th. The bar has been set very high already, and we can’t wait to read the rest of your submissions!

Keep laughing,

Scott
