WestWords would like to contact Sue Crawford and Carol Amos to join us for a literary industry sector seminar. Would you kindly supply emails so we can send invitations?
Hi,
I enjoyed the free copy I received and thought the quality of the stories were high. It was a very well presented publication.
The only thing was, because I could not attend your presentation due to family issues, I never found out who the prize winners were. Those details never appeared on your website. Good luck to them, whoever they were.
PS: One of my stories was recently shortlisted in a major literary competition, and I have had another story published by a respected literary publisher. So things have been travelling well since you published my short piece.
Hi Andrew – award results in one of the blog posts – I’ve emailed you the link! Thanks!
