New Story by Annemarie Neary in Litro 103

Congratulations to Annemarie Neary – who took part in Microfictions in 2008 and the first Novelists’ Club in 2009 –  for her fine story in February’s edition of Litro.

Annemarie’s work has been shortlisted for the Bridport Prize for the past three years and she was a prizewinner in 2009. She was a prizewinner in the Fish and Bryan MacMahon short story competitions (Ireland), and had an Honorable Mention in the Lorian Hemingway contest (US). Her stories  have been published in anthologies, including, in 2010, 50 Stories for Pakistan, Ways of Falling and Stories of Loss and Deception.

Flash Fiction Films: The Bridport Prize…

The Bridport Prize has launched a new venture designed to ‘investigate the relationship between books and films’. Curated by novelist Jonathan Coe, the scheme is inviting  people to submit film adaptations of some of last year’s winning stories in Bridport’s flash fiction category.

‘Writers’ Workout’ falls on 2nd anniversary!

I’m offering places for The Writers Workout at a 15 % discount to celebrate the fact this workshop falls almost exactly on the two-year anniversary of the very first London Writing Workshops event (pictured left), which took place on May 24, 2008 . Since then, there have been another 12 workshops, attended by more than 100 people in total, quite a few coming back more than once.

I’ve learned an enormous amount in these two years and I’ve met some lovely people, some of whom have subsequently had short stories published, one has been longlisted for the Bridport Prize, and another has secured a literary agent. But for me this comment – from someone who came on the short story workshop last September – really sums up what it’s all about: ‘Somehow, seeing the variety and quality of what other people – and you yourself – can come up with on the spur of the moment, restores one’s faith in the human ability to be immensely creative’. Hear, Hear, to that!
