Hello,

I know this might be a mighty big ask, but would there be any chance to write up Shed Of The Week?

I know its a big ask but is there the slimmest of slim chances? wink

You can always write us a Shed of the Week and send it to me, though I won't guarantee we will publish it and we can't afford to pay you for it... but you never know smile

Oh and the budget for the Shed is £1000 and not a car we have covered in the last 3 months (though the last one is not necessary true, in case someone goes and checks smile)

Excellent, and who said anything about money? wink

How many words do you need and in what format?

Probably best to look at the previous Shed of the Weeks (http://www.pistonheads.com/doc.asp?c=162) and get a feel from them, though usually around 300-400 words plus text from the original advert.

excellent, i'll be able to knock that out tonight. Top man.

Even if you don't publish it, would it be possible to get some feedback about my writing?

Of course, always happy to help budding journalists (though some would argue we could do with some help ourselves) smile

You could do with a proof reader before you publish them.

We have had a look at it and like the tone of the piece. The only problem is that the car you featured is now sold and we can't get any pictures of it. If you could PM me your phone number then either Garlick or I will be in touch.
