You see @lisajewelluk, sadly there's a lot of it about.

Another comp that took all rights and they now seem thrilled they’ve exploited so many. No sign of scruples so far. Still waiting. thepeoplesfriend.co.uk/2022/07/19/fic… @ALCS_UK @Soc_of_Authors

@FeralMother44 @PrimaMag @lisajewelluk @ALCS_UK @Soc_of_Authors From the terms and conditons list in the magazine - By entering the competition, you agree that the copyright and all other rights in respect of the entry shall be assigned to Hearst UK.

@WomagC @PrimaMag @lisajewelluk @ALCS_UK @Soc_of_Authors If this is fact they should hang their head in shame! Writers need to boycott this competition where they have no rights over their own work!

Just to warn you @PrimaMag are running a thriller competition that takes the rights of every single story sent in. This is exploitation. They own those stories for no fee. The writer involved, @lisajewelluk should hang her head in shame. @ALCS_UK @Soc_of_Authors

Please note this comp is only open to UNPUBLISHED writers 45+. The terms and conditions are being updated. myweekly.co.uk/2022/07/01/avo…

@TheFriendMag. Proper terms and conditons for this comp yet still DC! Not a rights grab in sight. myweekly.co.uk/2022/07/01/avo…
