Shared work and the recent w&a competition

by Fran Hewison
4th March 2015

Hello to everyone,

This is my first post anywhere on here, so general greetings and such. My question is whether or not I can now post the story which I submitted for the short story competition in shared work? There is absolutely no way in hell that it is anywhere near a shortlist, given that I disliked the theme intensely, but it would be nice to try and get some general feedback.

I do have a semi-objective reader, however this person openly admits that they dislike fiction, to the extent that 90% of the books they have read in the last few years were non-fiction. But I digress…

Of course, having posted this, I'll probably find that the results have already been published and I've managed to miss it!

Thanks

Fran

I'm with Andrew on that one... sit on your hands, or write something else, just in case!

I would wait and see. You never know! You wouldn't want to get scrubbed off the shortlist for sharing your work.
