WritersReign is a website dedicated to assisting writ-
ers to improve their work and get it published.
My aim is to provide resources, articles, links and
downloads, and not forgetting my two f.r.e.e. Writing
courses - Short Story and Article - to help the aspiring
writer to get on with it and produce something that
will prove satisfying and rewarding to both writer and
reader. After all, writing should be fun. Hard work,
yes, but fun as well. If you don’t get a buzz from your
creative output then it really can be the pits. But get
those creative juices flowing and the adrenaline
pumping and writing can be the best occupation on
the planet.
Mervyn Love, Editor
A Brief Biography of Your Editor
Mervyn Love was born a century and a half ago (well,
it feels like it sometimes) in the village of Reepham,
Lincolnshire, and has never looked back. It is this
geographical origin that has led to his sincere
conviction, up until quite recently, that the earth really
was flat.
Mervyn failed his ‘O’ Level Maths at the age of 30,
having been something of a slow learner, and
ironically has earned his living by crunching numbers
in the finance departments of several companies.
Which just goes to show that all the sweat and tears
gaining ‘A’ Levels in Quantum Physics, Civil
Engineering, and Cross-stitch in the 13th Century
were a complete waste of time.
Recreations include ropeless abseiling, desert pot-
holing, lounging in front of the Telly and tiddly-winks.
The latter being a left-over from
the time he captained the
Frodingham Flyers to victory in the
Lincolnshire and South Humberside
Tiddly-winks Championships in 1954 against reigning
champions the Appleby Aces. The Flyers won by two
whizzers and a scrimp in a nail biting final at the
Grimsby Fish Gutters Centennial Hall.
His award-winning site for aspiring writers,
WritersReign.co.uk (voted Best Cloned Site 2002 in
the ‘Web Sites Thrown Together With Little Or No
Thought’ category) recently won the "Site Most Likely
To Be Ignored In The 21st Century" award, and has
received several similar accolades.
His ambition is to one day get out of bed before
11.00am, and beat his wife at Scrabble. But not both
on the same day.
Legal Disclaimers:
'I didn’t do it, your honour!'
No, but seriously, I try really hard to
get things right, but nobody’s perfect.
If you find any links that don’t work or

that: opinions, and no guarantee of any particular

Security Advisory
This page is intended solely for visitors to
WritersReign web site, and should not be shown,
hinted at, nudged, winked, or in any way, and by any
means such as the Morse code, sign language or by
writing the contents on the steamed up window of a
No. 7 bus, be communicated to a third party without
the express permission of the originator, who, it has to
be said, is 101% likely not to give it. So don't hold
your breath. Information on this page may have, or
contain, under certain circumstances, classified
wordage which may harm, damage, embarrass,
infuriate or, if things got really bad, and even if the
odds are 1 squillion to 1 against, may conceivably
undermine the perceived credibility of the originator
which is the last thing we want.
Your co-operation in not breathing a word to a soul
will be appreciated.What do you mean "No problem"?
On the other hand you may freely and without
restraint pass on the name of this site, i.e.:
www.writersreign.co.uk to anyone on the planet you
happen to be friends with. To do so would earn you
the undying gratitude or your editor. No cash, just
undying gratitude.
Mercenary Motives
Oh, and another thing. Should you
purchase any item from this site by
clicking on a link or advert you may
be disgusted to learn that
WritersReign may, repeat may, earn a
few pennies in commission. If this fills
you with horror at the mercenary motives of your
editor but are still interested in the product, then I
advise you to Google the name of said product in your
browser, which should lead you to the producer’s sales
page, and you can buy it directly from him/her
without adding any more doubtful moolah to the
WritersReign coffers. It won't cost any less but it
might make you feel better.
And what, some might ask, are you going to do with
all these piles of cash? Well, I rather have my heart
set on a new car. Not a Ferrari or a Lamborgeeni (in
fact I don't even know how to spell it), just a nice new
Fiesta for my lady wife as she really deserves it. So
far I have amassed the sum of £19 14s 4½d.
Some way to go then.
On a serious note, this site really is a labour of love
(no pun intended) and all costs are borne entirely by
myself. (Sob, sob!)
Right, that's the end of that. Time for a cuppa. Put the
kettle on Phyllis!
