Wow – well done, you. Will be keeping fingers crossed.

Brilliant news, Phillipa. Sorry I won’t be there to cheer you on – will have to cheer from the Den. Rooting for you though and can’t wait to hear how it goes 🙂

Always great to have ‘one of our own’ to cheer on. Mind you, I’m going to have to hold myself in check. Apparently, I’m doing the comp intros on both Friday and Saturday this year. Even though the decision isn’t down to me, I’ll be tempted to jump up and down and yell, ‘Vote for her!’

I’ve written another novel since, a rather dark crime thriller, but maybe it’s time to return to my first love (as it were).

I’ve messaged Neil Evans on FB, since he wasn’t on your list, Ath.

Welcome Graeme and Louise!

Good luck with the submissions. This is a great thread.

RichardB – you were in my self-edit group and I remember your fab story. Good luck with dusting it down, giving it a polish and, hopefully, getting it back out there again. I do hope you do well. Certainly, you write well.

I took two years off writing after more than a few setbacks. It was…[Read more]
