Been bobbing about on the outskirts of some competitions lists, poetry and story. I've always liked bobbing and outskirts. You get to hear some good readings and meet great people who write, too. So a couple of Bridport shortlistings. And got invited down to a lovely event one watery weekend in Derby to hear the Aurora prize readings and the judges speeches. Warm and welcoming.
