University of Roehampton - Roehampton Writes. Welcome to Roehampton Writes Our web magazine showcases the best work produced by the University of Roehampton’s Creative Writing BA and MA/MRes students. It gives them real-life experience of being published, and a chance to build a portfolio of work. As in most years, the 2012 Summer edition is devoted to the winners of our writing contest. Each year, the Department of English and Creative Writing runs a competition to celebrate Creative Writing Day. The winners are trained in public performance, and give their first professional reading at a formal soiree hosted by the university; their work is then published on Roehampton Writes.

The Authors Guild - Contracts on Fire: Amazon's Lending Library Mess. Are any of the books in Amazon’s new e-book subscription/lending program properly there? Earlier this month, Amazon launched its Kindle Online Lending Library as a perk for its best group of customers, the millions who’ve paid $79 per year to join Amazon Prime and get free delivery of their Amazon purchases.
Under the Lending Library program, Amazon Prime members are allowed to download for free onto their Kindles any of more than 5,000 books.

I've spent years reading end user license agreements, EULAs, looking for little gotchas or just trying to figure out what the agreement allows and doesn't allow.
I have never seen a EULA as mind-bogglingly greedy and evil as Apple's EULA for its new ebook authoring program. Dan Wineman calls it "unprecedented audacity" on Apple's part.

But that's prohibited: Apple, in this EULA, is claiming a right not just to its software, but to its software’s output.
Exactly: Imagine if Microsoft said you had to pay them 30% of your speaking fees if you used a PowerPoint deck in a speech. I've downloaded the software and had a chance to skim the EULA. B.
