UK'S FIRST 'MOBILE' SOAP SERIES TO LAUNCH ON KWICKEE BITESIZE

5 new soaps available on mobile phones under the category, KwickeeSoap

Kwickee Bitesize, a new information platform for mobile phones, that is now
home to the talents of thousands of contributors, is announcing the search
for their 'founding' writers to launch five soaps from June this year.
Covering the past, present and future there will be one to suit all tastes;
a period drama following the power struggles of two warring families, a
story set on a space outpost in the not-too-distant future for the sci-fi
fans and for the here-and-now a pacey soap, set in the financial district of
down-town Hong Kong - home to hundreds of fast living UK and American
expats. The fourth soap will be classified Adult due to its expected
'sexually explicit' content.

Perhaps the most innovative is the remaining soap which will be specially
produced to allow a new writer to take over script and story development
every 13 weeks. Called 'Airside' the soap is based at the busy London
Airport and tells the story of the airline employees, the airport owners and
of course the travellers.

A new episode from one of the five soaps will be published each week day.

"Our decision to introduce soaps to the family of Kwickee content was
inevitable and I'm delighted that we can make it a fun and interesting read
for people who enjoy TV soaps and dramas", commented Julian Fisher,
Publisher. "KwickeeSoap will eventually contain pictures and in time will
also incorporate short TV style clips. This is a very exciting time for
Kwickee Bitesize and early indications are that our family of 'KwickeeSoaps'
will become an integral part of people's everyday reading and viewing
pleasure."

In the first instance writers should contact Miriam Attwood at Kwickee
Guides Ltd by email:- mir...@kwickee.com

Kwickee Bitesize, which launches shortly, is host to a wealth of information
(articles, reviews, reports, training, sales messages etc) written by
professionals, the public and marketers, will be available to a UK market of
over 30 million people.

Kwickee Bitesize will be available on the five UK mobile phone operators:
Vodafone, O2, Orange, T-Mobile and Virgin.
