There
are around 350 creative writing magazines in the UK, but we
believe ours is the very best, and here's why...
We
founded Gold Dust because wanted to create something fresh
and new by publishing off-beat, original pieces from all genres
in one place - which is why you'll find a quirky film script
alongside an avant-garde poem, followed by the funniest flash
fiction - we put it all together and the result is pure Gold
Dust!
Every issue includes:
book reviews
author interviews
how to write features
short stories
poems
