Win a one-on-one meeting with Pan Macmillan’s commissioning editor!

Today Pan Macmillan announced a new competition with very little fanfare – no website announcement, just a single Facebook image. And perhaps there's a good reason: it's so simple, they are about to be inundated!

Submit a 1000 word story using the characters from William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet before Friday 3 April 2015 and you could be chatting to Pan Macmillan's commissioning editor.

See the photo for more information and, yes, we know there's a typo, but we thought it best to show the original!
