Lovely to receive this anthology in the post this week. A great cover, and some talented writers in there.

I was particularly pleased to read judge Eleanor Dryden’s comments about my third placed story, ‘Miss Bird Catches a Wave’:

‘I found this story to be startingly vivid, emotive, fresh, atmospheric, a little sad, and quietly empowering. I loved it’.

Receiving praise like this is as important as the prize!
