Announcing the Shortlist Before 26th March?

by HELEN Yendall
3rd March 2013

Hi - will you be letting us the shortlisted writers know that they're shortlisted & that their work will be possibly/partially performed at the event on 26th March? We don't all live in London but I'm sure most people would make the effort to try to get to the event if they knew they'd been shortlisted?

thanks

Dear Susan,

Unfortunately, we aren't publicly announcing the shortlist. In order for the judging process to remain completely impartial, names and email addresses will be omitted from the stories on the shortlist.

The only stories performed at the event will be those of the winner and the two runners-up, who will be notified prior to the evening.

The winners and runners-up will be announced on the site on Wednesday 27th March.

Kind regards,

The Writers & Artists Team

Not sure if they've been contacted yet, it's only beginning of March, how would we know if they've been contacted or not? Unless you're one of them :)

I may be wrong, but I believe the shortlisted have already been contacted. The rest of us will have to wait until the 27th.
