Tall Tales and True
The folks at the Fellowship of Australian Writers sent me this certificate in the mail. It is for my short story Tall Tales and True.
Two Short Stories Recognised
Very happy to announce that my story “An Old Fashioned Girl” gained 2nd place in the 2017 Port Writers Open Literary Competition 2017. I also gained a Highly Commended in the same competition with my story “The ‘D’ Word”.
Judge’s comments:
An Old Fashioned Girl – A highly amusing and well-crafted story, particularly in your summing up of the different types of people who feature in the story, from the yuppie parents to the trendy schoolgirls and the old fashioned Yvonne and Henry.
Wonderfully entertaining.
Judge’s comments:
The ‘D’ Word – A well written and touching story. Although it doesn’t meet the standard definition of a short story, I feel it deserves recognition.
Submission
No, not the Sex Pistols song. Nor, my current position on neo-liberalism. It’s the story I wrote for the 2017 Peter Cowan 600 word Short Story Competition.
And yes, I did brag before about how it was awarded a Commended Certificate.
