Did this Christmas leave you thinking, "stuff the turkey, this is not what it is cracked up to be". Or are you one of the lucky ones for who Christmas is a time of joy and good will to all men, women and dotty relatives?

getoutthere.bt.com has recently launched a brand new creative writing zone to give budding writers the chance to upload their work for all to see. Along with advice and feature articles, seasoned writers including Ed McBain and Ian Rankin will be on board to judge the work.

Go to www.getoutthere.bt.com to discover how to upload your work.
