We've started making a stack of inspiration for the new year!

Anyone thinking of submitting to our open short story call in January for the Modern Decadent anthology??

We plan to have some inspiration posts in the new year to help you get those creative muses singing.

Long overdue, but after 12.5 years at the Museum I will be leaving at the end of the month so it’s really now or never…
