I’m very happy to announce that my short story, The Edge, is on the Pin Drop Short Story Award longlist alongside work by some very wonderful writers. It’s a competition that was set up (by Pin Drop and the Royal Academy) for stories to be read aloud and as such a bit of a new venture for me, I’m delighted that my work has found its way onto the longlist.

The winning story will be read out by Gwendolen Christie of Game of Thrones fame! I’m a huge fan so I have to admit this would be my dream…..

If you would like to buy tickets to the awards ceremony they’re available here
