In all the post-Get Writing 2010 hubbub, I’ve just noticed that we completely forgot to record the result of the Get Writing Short Story competition.
As a wise man once said: oops.
So, for the record:
GW10 was the first time we ran a short story competition, with adjudication by Lesley Eames, Meena Wells and Adèle Geras.
Katie Carr bagged the trophy, with Beating The Blues, Jane Middleton was runner-up with Brightly Coloured Lives and Giselle Finn came third with The Confession.
The following were all shortlisted:
- Helen Beal for The Jigsaw Fairy
- Richard Bruckdorfer for Going Home
- Lynne Bullock for Black as Pit Gold
- Alison Reed for Feeding the Father
- Suzanne Stanton for Never Judge a Book by its Cover
- Lawrence Stribling for Life & Death of a Stowaway
- Oscar Windsor-Smith for Closure
Well done to all the entrants and thanks to the judges for the time and effort in adjudicating.
