Posts Tagged ‘Novelists’ Club’

Brittle Star is a great little magazine of poetry and short fiction published three times a year – without a penny of subsidy –  by an indefatigable team of editors, among them Louisa Hooper who took part in last year’s Novelists’ Club. They will be launching issue 28 on Wednesday 30 March 2011 at the Barbican Library, Silk St, London, EC2Y 8DS.

There will be readings of poetry and short stories,  refreshments, a chance to meet the editors, and – most importantly – the opportunity to get the latest copy hot off the press. The event is free, but you need to book tickets through the Barbican Library (020 7638 0569) as numbers are limited.

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.
