First hurdle cleared

I've just checked the Emerald Writing Workshops site here and discovered that both my stories have made the long list in their competition that closed last week.

There were fourteen stories chosen for this list out of a total entry of 55.

A long way from actually winning but it is a nice boost to my ego.

Their current comp is for a story of up to 500 words based on the theme "Riches to Rags". Why not have a go yourself?

  1. Congratulations on (twice) making the long list!

  2. Thanks. It's not a prestigious competition and the total prize fund is only £75 but it is an independent opinion that my writing is not complete rubbish.
