Illy and Le Meridian Hotels. - 2007/01/30 18:55 I wrote out a long query and I have lost it
Start again.
Has anyone heard of Le Meridian Hotels? They are a chain that serves Illy coffee and have set up a place where writers send fifty-word stories that are printed on cards and issued to coffee customers.
I have submitted six stories and they may be published on Feb 1st on the Le Meridian site.
Illy is a new name to me although I am used to coffee served cold and chunky on Canadian Navy vessels (22 years). I retired in 1980 and drink brewed coffee I grind myself from the grocery stores.
I just wondered if this is of interest.
Cheers,
QBall.

Re:Illy and Le Meridian Hotels. - 2007/01/31 15:02 Everything coffee-related is of interest here... Starbucks was doing this for a while; printing witty and cryptic little sayings on coffee cups...

until someone was offended...
and there is always someone out there waiting to be offended by something... Colin is the Senior editor and creator of the CoffeeCrew.Com Website

Re:Illy and Le Meridian Hotels. - 2007/01/31 18:17 Although there is no payment, a writer gains exposure with stories on site at Le Meridien/Illy.
If you are a writer and wide awake drinking coffee, the challenge is to write a complete tale using exactly 50 words (excluding title).
Supposedly 50 words is long enough for a customer to read and digest over a cup of coffee. As you say there is a downside when someone takes a dim view of an article, but everything is screened before publishing..
Thanks for your comment.
