It was lovely to see you again at York, Janette. Bravo for your double-win ! Your story is emotionally rich and poignant without reaching pathos or simplicity. Beautifully done, and a well-deserved victory (victories).

Kaz, this is so exciting – not one bit of good news, but TWO: new agent AND Penguin’s interest! Yes yes yes yes yes!!! Going with the agent you felt the most comfortable with seems the way to go.

I’m so happy for you!

Haven’t stopped dancing little happy dances since I heard. 🙂

Ava will be so loved by everyone who meets her. I can’t wait to see where she takes us. (and Jack. I love him a bit) xxx

This is so well deserved. I can’t wait to see Ava meet a larger audience. I’ve loved the book since our SE days! Congratulations, Kaz. Really thrilled for you xxx 😊😁💞

So, so pleased for you – to get placed once in a comp is awesome, but to be placed twice in the same one? Out of this world!

I am so chuffed with all this good news today in the Den!!

Squeeeeee!!! So, so pleased for you! And Penguin Random House too? Flip – that’s the big time! Can’t tell you how delighted I am for you xxx

This is absolutely wonderful Kaz, and I can’t think of anyone who deserves it more. To find someone like that who ‘gets’ your writing and you click with, and the double endorsement of the PRH editor as well! Absolutely delighted with this, and can’t wait to read the book

Quick pop around to say C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S to @kazg and @janette for their wonderful news this morning. I’ve been reading everything but if I took the time to respond to it all, I would still be awake at 2 am with a rise and shine time of 5 30. I will catch up on All . The . Things over the week, but it’s my first week back at work…[Read more]

  that all SOUNDS overwhelming my lovely! Juggling all the balls…don’t you worry about a thing, we’ll all be here when you have time, and most of us vanish into Real Life at times. And thank you! xx

First AND second – that’s just amazing, Janette! I remember your story well – I loved it when I first read it, so deceptively simple yet powerful, without a hint of sentimentality. Just like this one. Very well deserved win, I’m SO happy for you 🙂

…has been my dream for such a long time. Having that lovely agent by your side in the lonely writing world; someone who you connect with, is on your wavelength and cheering you on for the long haul (because your money is her money, let’s face it). Someone who knows the market, who understands publishing, who can bounce ideas with you, who can…[Read more]

Fantastic, Janette. Delighted for you. What a lot of power you’ve packed into a few words. Cracking bit of writing and a well deserved winner.

Any plans for the second-place piece?
Jules replied to the topic Flash Fiction Win – posted in the right place now, I hope 😉 in the forum Podium 7 years, 10 months ago

This is brilliant, Janette. 1st and 2nd place. Grinning from ear to ear 😀
