The Word Tree

I think I'm just lurching forwards at the moment, from Word Tree to Word Tree - that will soon settle because I've had to take leave without pay from Box Hill Tafe just to fill some of my own work commitments. So, look for more writing-related and reading-related posts soon.

Great news from Liz!

Liz Corbett's short story, 'Beyond the Blackout Curtain', made the shortlist of twenty stories in the Bristol Short Story Prize. There were 1729 entries! The shortlisted twenty will be published in the Bristol Short Story Prize Anthology.

'Beyond the Blackout Curtain', has since been picked up by a small start up Melbourne literary magazine [untitled].

Liz's short story, 'Silent Night', was short listed for the Allan Marshall Short Story Competition.

Congratulations Liz!
