Everyone has a memoir in them. Write a piece of your life, send it to Fish. This contest is an opportunity to have your memoir published.

Summarising is summing up what has happened in a story. You could write your ideas down or talk about them with someone at home. Remember to back up your ideas with evidence using the word 'because'.

In fact, we couldn't bear to write another ... anyone to write a story that reads like the real deal. Which is to say, anything but one-of-a-kind. Want to create your own column?
