Welcome to our Australian friends
Recent days have seen Australian writers entering the fray in our competition and they are very welcome indeed.
The idea of the competition was always to find the best new writers across the globe and give them a chance to enjoy success with their work.
There is less than a month to go in our first competition now: you will note that the counter on the home page zeroed itself at the start of December. As mentioned previously, we gave writers six weeks for this inaugural challenge.
At the end of the month, our judge, the novelist Fiona Cooper, will read the entries and announce her decision on this site. It should be a tough decision and we are eagerly awaiting her verdict.
Entries keep coming in but if you experience any problems with our site - technology being what it is, there are sometimes glitches - please do not hesitate to get in touch and we can address it promptly.
In the meantime, we are enjoying seeing the first stories. Like we keep saying, there’s a lot of talent out there.
John Dean
