 Wow - I didn't see this coming! I'm thrilled to share that I'm the winner of the Mindfood 2019 Short Story Competition.
The story, Flotsam and Jetsam, (published in the August edition of Mindfood magazine) is described as the 'unexpectedly poignant adventure of schoolgirl Amy and her mother'. The competition was judged by Rebecca Thorne (HarperCollins), Jenny Hellen (Allen & Unwin) and Michael McHugh (Mindfood Editor-In-Chief), who had some lovely things to say, including: "A wonderful example of the power of short stories" "There's a gradual reveal throughout the story, leading to a complex and heart-rending ending that's perfectly pitched" "I am looking forward to reading more from this talented writer" The competition will run again in 2020 and I highly recommend entering. Thanks, Mindfood!
