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 😊😁💞

Thanks so much for those generous comments, Sandra and Daeds 🙂

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

Superb news Kaz – I’ve always loved your writing so know this is very well deserved. I’ll be in Melbourne in November, but more whizzing in and out a couple of times, on our way elsewhere, Will send you a closer wave, at least.

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]

I’m going to go with the advice given and submit it to another comp, this time with its original title ‘The Grandmothers’. If it sounds familiar, it is because it was an old comp entry over on Cloud but which I polished up a little, this one set in a Celtic village (yes, rather like my other wip *blushes*). As I don’t want to compromise by…[Read more]
Janette replied to the topic Short Story Publication/Competition in the forum Podium 7 years, 7 months ago

… And now I’ve found this thread!
Firstly, many congratulations, Elle, Daeds, Hil, Kaz and Jules. I’ll look out for those links.
I think I’ve already said too many times already, but I have also come first AND second in the same local comp, Pennine Ink, with my two entries. Not stumbling upon this first, I opened a fresh link and posted the link…[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?
Sandra replied to the topic Flash Fiction Win – posted in the right place now, I hope 😉 in the forum Podium 7 years, 7 months ago

Just read it – told with your usual heart-warming warmth, salted, as always with human reality. Excellent.
Jules replied to the topic Flash Fiction Win – posted in the right place now, I hope 😉 in the forum Podium 7 years, 7 months ago

This is brilliant, Janette. 1st and 2nd place. Grinning from ear to ear 😀
Janette replied to the topic A Brief History of York Festivals in the forum Blogs 7 years, 7 months ago

*blushes* Sorry, I’ve only just found this link. Yes, Mandy was indeed bloody brilliant and it felt oh-so-special to be sat listening to her. It was the proverbial cherry atop the York cake that had already proved to be one-to-be-remembered.
KazG replied to the topic A Brief History of York Festivals in the forum Blogs 7 years, 7 months ago

I’M GOING TO SHOUT TOO! HOORAY!

As I mentioned all over the rest of DoW except, probably, the right place, I received an email this morning to confirm I have not only won Pennine Ink flash fiction comp 2018, but my other story was placed second. Can you believe it?

Anyway, as asked I have posted the link that contains the winning story below. I can’t believe it is the one that…[Read more]
Sandra replied to the topic Friday night live in the forum Podium 7 years, 7 months ago

Yes, Hel – please do post – here or in our SE Group (not sure you’ve found that?) but let us know where. I definitely want to read it.
Sandra replied to the topic Hello All in the forum Coffee Shop 7 years, 7 months ago

Only just found this Janette – brilliant and well-deserved news. Keep us posted.
HELEN KAMPFNER replied to the topic Friday night live in the forum Podium 7 years, 7 months ago

Thanks so much everyone and many congrats, Philippa.

Raine, of course I can post it but, frankly, it’s not that wonderful. But I can if you want. Do you mean post it here?

How are you doing? What are you writing? Your work is so good…have you sent anything out to agents recently?
