Hi! Just want to ask if the winner and the runner ups have been notified yet by email?

Thanks SO much Suzy. I've been a bit worried to be honest - thinking I'd shot myself in the foot. Life is difficult enough for us struggling writers isn't it, without making things even tougher for ourselves! Of course, I do know that Godot never came - I've studied the play (quite recently, as it happens). And that's how 'success' feels like to me, at present - very elusive, and that possibly it's not going to come at all! Never mind, I'll just have to get on with the writing day; oddly enough I'm writing about a character who is very self-destructive!

If you have entered this competition I wish you all the very best of luck and thanks again - I feel much better!! You have a good day! xx

Dear all,

Our readers will be getting back to us with those being considered for the prize over the coming days.

Following your feedback, we have decided to publish the shortlist of twenty in advance of the event on Tuesday 26th March. However, for the sake of the judging process, only the shortlisted names will be published on the website - but not the titles of their stories.

Check our Twitter page for updates on when the shortlist will be published!

Kind regards,

The W&A Team

@ Melanie I thought it was quite an amusing remark. The only thing was Godot never came so perhaps that is why you got the thumbs down. Silly really. Here I go to give you a thumbs up with a wink. ;)
