A quick request. If you're enquiring about something to do with the Welkin Prize, please can you use the Welkin Prize email address rather than my personal one. I'm getting a lot of emails through to that and I shan't be checking it after tomorrow so your email will go unread 😬

In June I started submitting my stories for publication. (Thanks to my amazing group of writing friends!) I have received lots of rejections since, but I'm proud to say I've had 9 stories accepted for publication and have 4 stories being published in January. The cover for one anthology is below.

Writing is lonely. You're alone with your story, wondering if it's good enough. Maybe it's not. But that's okay. It's good enough to submit. And that's where everything changes.
