Winning a Word Factory apprenticeship

Excited to share that I’ve been selected as one of the Word Factory apprentices for 2019 and will be working with author Chris Power on my short stories.

Her'e’s what the Word Factory has to say about the award:

The award is the brain-child of Word Factory’s associate director, Paul McVeigh and founder and director Cathy Galvin, both sharing working-class backgrounds and a passion for the transformative power of literature.

The winners will join the Word Factory team in an exciting year in which writers will be encouraged to explore the boundaries of the short story form. Galvin’s artistic programme of readings, debates and special events will run throughout 2019/2020 and and has attracted the support of partners including those directly related to the award and Arts Council England, Waterstones, Tara Arts Theatre, the Charles Causley and Quay Words festivals and the University of Exeter.

I can’t wait.
