IT’S HERE IT’S HERE IT’S HERE! After a ludicrously long day at work (you can tell from my hair) I came home to find my award from @prizenovel_CNP!!! I’ve put it next to my other award, which was bought from a charity shop and given to me for ‘being a good friend’
Lucy is such a wonderful person and I could not be happier. This book is amazing and so you are in for a treat! #lions #noblebeasts #writing #WritingCommunity #cheshirenovelprize

Very grateful for this fantastic review of ‘The Beauty Queen.’ Thanks so much Molly X 🧡 #writing @JoffeBooks @katiefulf @BLM_Agency
Congrats to the amazing @AJWestAuthor and @OrendaBooks AJ is a massive talent and has been a huge supporter of my prize. It couldn’t have happened to two nicer people. Congrats guys! 🎉🥳👏🍾
This award is so richly deserved. Karen is nothing short of a legend in publishing, and rightly so. Determined, driven, dauntless, it's quite mind-boggling to witness. Sharing last night at the @The_CWA awards was epic. Praise to my editor @west_camel also, who is truly the best.
Omg! @OrendaBooks that is AMAZING and so well deserved Karen! Congratulations!
We won!! Publisher of the year @The_CWA!!! OMG!!
We won! 🎉🥳👏🍾

Nice to wake up to! I do love teaching and doing retreats! Dear Sara, I entered this after completing your Advanced summer school course & the incredible retreat. It is the 4th year I've entered and never heard anything below. Following the course I revised and rewrote.

Ahhhh! I received my feedback from @prize_novel for my YA story! Thank you so to the organisers, the readers, and the judges! This is truly an amazing prize. I have pages of fabulous feedback, with pointers on what's working well & what can be improved. I can't stop smiling!
