✍🏽'How to Write a Prize-Winning Short Story' provided wonderful insight from Brick Lane Bookshop Short Story Prize creator @katesmalleyelli@prototypepubs founder Jess Chandler, short story author @GurnaikJohal, and @livlizlou from Janklow & Nesbitt literary agency.
This. Huge congratulations to Ana Paula Maia and @ZAPTranslations, as well as to the incredible other presses and titles on the shortlist. Our thanks to the judges and to the @PrizeRofc team, for their hard work, diligence, and a fantastic evening last night.
- a fabulous collection of funny, dark, mouthwatering delicious stories (and one of mine ☺️). Not only a great stocking filler but supports an indie bookshop and the short story @BrickLaneBooks
