I get a lot of readers for this post so here's a link to the winner announcement and information. Midlands based writer Sukhraj Kaur Randhawa to be published in October. Shortlisted were shortlisted authors, Kirstin Zhang and Julie Ma, who I'm guessing also have Asian links. How interesting. I wish we could read the shortlisted stories too. Perhaps on the Orange website or Harper's Bazaar website. Or do these ladies blog?
