Write on information specialism in the style of the author of your choice and win a £50 book token Following the success of the last writing competition, NGLIS are throwing down the gauntlet again for all you budding novelists: Write on information specialism in the style of the author of your choice and win a £50 book token Thanks to the kind sponsorship of Softlink Europe, Network is offering you the chance to win a £50 book token. All you have to do is imagine any author writing about an information specialist. It can be any author- PG Wodehouse (We can all guess Jeeves's real profession), Stephen King, Catherine Cookson, JK Rowling, …- and any genre- romance, horror, mystery, … How about a magic realist approach to corporate file plans? The choice is yours. To enter, please provide a title and an extract from your imaginary novel, the total length of your entry being no more than 400 words. Entries will be judged on their entertainment value and the inventive use they make of our specialist skills rather than their potential interest to a literary agent. Please submit your entry in Word to pat.bell@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk by 5 September 2008. The winning entry will be printed in Network, and its author will receive a £50 book token, courtesy of Softlink Europe. The competition is open to all members of NGLIS. Entries will be judged by the Network Editorial Board. Their decision will be final.

Don't miss our Summer Social, held in the most architecturally inspiring or otherwise interesting venue we can get, a chance to have a few drinks, network, gossip, and admire each others' libraries.
