I put this up on the forums and I make no apolgoy for repeating the call here.

Once upon a time there was an earthquake in Haiti. On the other side of the world, in Denmark, a writer named Greg McQueen saw the devastation and decided he would do something about it. He put a call out for writers from all corners of the globe asking for 100 short stories to put into an anthology. The result was 100 Stories for Haiti, a book that came from conception to publication in a matter of two months and all proceeds go to the Red Cross to help the people of Haiti.

Last night Greg saw more pictures of devastation, this time from Pakistan and now he’s put out another call. He wants 50 stories and he wants it published in a month. You may think he’s crazy, but I’ve seen him do this before.

So come on all you writers. Now’s your chance to do something for nothing … but it’s not for nothing. Flex your typing fingers and get writing and let’s see 50 stories for Pakistan working to ease the suffering of people less fortunate than ourselves.

Here’s the form.


50 Stories For Pakistan

Max 500 words

Any subject, any genre but no death, violence or destruction.

Paste your story into the body of an email.

He also needs your name, address and contact number. You can add a short bio if you wish, but the contact details are vital.

Send your email to: storiesforpakistan@gmail.com

Want to hear Greg spelling it out.  Then go here: http://audioboo.fm/boos/176966-stories-for-pakistan-let-s-go
