We held our results evening for the short story competition 2022 this month, and a wonderful night of stories was enjoyed by all. Our judge, Professor Andrew Cowen<\/a>, gave us fantastically detailed feedback and said he was highly impressed with the standard of writing, and the variety of entries he received on the theme of ‘Coincidence’. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without further ado, here are the results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1st Place: Les Brooks<\/a> – Spring Fever<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2nd Place: Richard Gould<\/a> – Google Earth and Me<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3rd Place: Josephine Warrier – Infestation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrew also commended three additional writers for their entries: Rachel Levy, Harry Goode, and Francis Thompson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As each placed story was revealed, the writer read the piece out to all who attended, resulting in a fabulous evening of imaginative and enjoyable fiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the winning and commended entries from our short story competition will be published later in the year in an anthology showcasing the talent of our writers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations and many thanks to everyone who entered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
