Welcome.

I’m Dan Pratt, an aspiring writer based in Leeds. 

I started writing seriously a couple of years ago after several years of working as an SEO Copywriter. I had always wanted to write creatively, to see my published book in the shop window, but I realised to see that dream I had to be more proactive. 

That’s why I created this site, to contribute to the writing community and to self-publish my work to continue to push myself to achieve my dream. Who knows, maybe one day soon I will be updating this page to show off my book!

While you are here, check out my Microfiction Series for a variety of genres in a compact and easy-to-read package. Or, if you prefer reading slightly longer pieces of fiction, I will be publishing Short Stories regularly. 

If you are new to writing, take a look at the New Writer Resource page for a range of tips and advice, resource recommendations and links to other writing sites. While the Creative Writing Blog is where I share my thoughts on writing and publishing. 

If you are like me and enjoy a good writing competition, the monthly Writing Competition Roundup has a list of competitions, for both beginners and more experienced writers, that are running this month. 

Or, if you are itching to see yourself published, the monthly Lit Mag Roundup has a list of lit mags accepting submissions this month. 

If you want to contribute and support the site, feel free to Buy Me A Coffee. It’s always appreciated!
