Maynah Lewis Competition

Image
This year's Maynah Lewis short story competition was for a crime story in 1600 words. We were delighted to welcome award-winning crime writer (and ex Wirral Writers member) Martin Edwards along to judge the competition and present the cup. In addition to judging the competition he also gave us a interesting insight into the life of a successful crime writer. Here's a link to his fascinating blog for more information about his writing. http://doyouwriteunderyourownname.blogspot.com/2009/06/forgotten-book-israel-rank.html So, without further ado, this year's winner: yours truly, Mike Wood . Second place, one of our newest members, Trevor Noble Here's the presentation And of course the timing of the competition is such that we can each enter our stories into the Writing Magazine July competition. Here's the address: Fiona Berry Competitions Department (Crime Story) Writing Magazine Warner's Group Publications The Maltings West Street Bourne Lincs PE10 9PH Entries
Hi Mike, Looking forward to hearing about your holiday at Hay. Loved the painting in May's issue of the ASAA Paint magazine. How lovely for Sarah to have it on the front cover. Has Barbara informed you that Martin Edwards will be coming to our next meeting (19th June) to announce the winner of the Mayah Lewis? Sorry if I'm messing up the numbers for Sunday Lunch, but I will not be able to go after all. Chris
