My mum has won the 2025 Bridport poetry award and £5000 in prize money for her poem Bird Child. So pleased for her and super proud. She's in Bridport today with MrsGrow to collect her award.

I have been in two of these challenges so far and really enjoyed the experience. I have yet to make it to the final round, but I came away with feedback & ideas to carry forward. I'm excited about this next one! nycmidnight.com/250

Congratulations to Vic Sizemore for winning the 2025 Tennessee Book Award in Fiction for his novel God of River Mud!!

Finalist judge Rebecca Makkai said, “”I was immediately swept away by God of River Mud, a layered, nuanced and often harrowing story of people ill-used by religious structures”

Thanks for this opportunity, Matt!

Celebrating @tracieadams.bsky.social, a SmokeLong Quarterly workshop mate whose detailed feedback has taught me so much about flash — especially about revising with a focus on the emotional layers of characters.
