pick me, pick me, pick me! - Shortlisted for the Fish, 2012
Yay, first shortlisting of 2012! I’ve made the Fish Publishing shortlist. No mean feat from around 1,900 entries, admittedly however, the shortlist is rather a long one with 145 stories to make it thus far (the long list was 550 apparently). David Mitchell is now judging and the winners will be announced on St. Patrick’s Day (March 17th to the un-Irish amongst you). Oooo I do like a good win…

Hi Samuel, Thanks for the congrats. I don’t want to publish a story here that’s still a contender, but if you’re interested in reading something of mine – this one won the HISSAC award last October: http://www.hissac.co.uk/2011_stories.html#first
Thanks for your interest!
