In a bit of a rush… so here's the news in summary:
First in Federation of Writers (Scotland)’s Vernal Equinox Competition;
Second in Neil Gunn Writing Competition
(judged by Michael Faber!); Third in Aurora’s
Annual Short Story Competition; Second in Flash 500 First Quarter (and the first placed story, ‘Rainbows for
Coppers’ by Claire Whately, and the third placed, ‘Summary’ by Joanna Campbell,
are both bloody brilliant so I don’t know how I got between them!); selected to
read at Edinburgh Book Festival this summer; a story accepted for a nice anthology to come out later in the year.
Not a bad haul for now.
