Deadline for Chap. 4 submissions Tues. 12/21 at 11:59:59 p.m.

Regardless of how you choose to celebrate, the time between Thanksgiving and the New Year tends to slip away on a wave of gatherings and travelling, wrapping and shopping, cooking and enjoying, and so on.

But hopefully you've written your chapter!

Yes, the Chapter 4 deadline is tomorrow, and the editorial board eagerly awaits new works. The board is still very pleased with entries so far, and continues to be surprised at the direction of the story. So dash away to your computer and submit!

In January, we'll organize a new collective of readings, so please check this blog, as well as Modern Dickens on Facebook and Twitter, for all the details.

Enjoy your celebrations!

Congratulations to John O'Donnell, our Chapter 3 winner!

John thrilled the editorial board with a suspenseful chapter while also helping readers understand key characters more completely. Way to go, John! He should be out and about soon reading his chapter, so check the blog, Twitter, and Facebook for upcoming events.

The editorial board continues to be excited by all the twists and turns presented by each author -- there are many writers with wonderful perspectives and interesting insights as to how the story should move along. We thank everyone for their submissions, and encourage you to download Chapter 3 (always free to do so, although donations are appreciated) and start writing Chapter 4 now!
