This
week members received the results of the
life writing competition. Our judge, local life writer, novelist, poet
and
teacher Andrea Samuelson, praised the standard of entries. Andrea gave
some
very helpful feedback for each entry, recognising those that
successfully
fulfilled the competition brief and offering advice and guidance for
those with
room for improvement. Fourth place was awarded to Dave Baker for
‘Anatomy of a
Love Story’, third went to Sam Davy for ‘Death is the Cessation of all
Biological Functions’, in second place was Roz Balp for ‘My Husband, My
Prince’ and our winner was Vicky Armstrong for ‘On Learning to Read’.
Godfrey Forder
was also commended for his work ‘Dandelion and Burdock with Bronwen’.
Formed in 1947, Hastings Writers' Group here in Sussex is one the longest running groups of its kind in the UK, with the late Catherine Cookson as a founder member.
We welcome both published and non-published authors - anyone who shares our love of the written word.
