Oh well done, Kate. I remember reading it when it came out and being mightily impressed. Well done!
Good on ye, Kate. Best of luck with it!
Congratulations. Enjoy the cocktails.
Thanks y'all. Cocktails ahoy.
Congrats, Kate! Best of luck with it. Love the story, by the way.
Best of luck!
Thanks. You know you've all jinxed it now for me...
Well done Kate and best of luck. I met Niamh Boyce at the magazine launch last week and James
Lawless read at one of our recent Boyne Readings and Open Mic
G'wan ya gud thing!Have a great night , hope ya win.( Great story title) Cocktails? Mmmm. Try a 'Hairy Mary', Poteen, Drambuie and Bovril. Lovely.
Congratulations, Kate, that's a great achievement, enjoy your cocktails !!
Well done, you must be excited. I haven't yet experienced any meaningful publication, but I dream of having an experience like yours.
Good luck!
Thanks. yes, Greatly looking forward to it.
Best of luck Kate. Michael Higgins is another of the fiction ones (can't remember name of the story, but it was about a paedophile) he won the first fiction award two or three years ago. Tough enough field but I remember your story - it was a real winner
Quick question -- is the New Writing feature open submission throughout the year?
Looking at the Tribune I can't tell.
Congrats on your nomination
Hi pittstop (is that like the pretty lady in the wacky races? Penelope?)
anyway, yes, open all year round. One story a month and one poem or set of poems. Good luck
thanks for amassing the stories! I've been trying to eye up the competition but its hard to find them archived :) see you on the 20th!
Thanks Saffie. What are you up for?
First Fiction! Real name's Sara O'Loughlin, I just use my nickname for my blog :)
O, a pen name or rather keyboard name. Just read your story. there's a great mood about it. Are you coming from New York, like your bio says?
Thank you! I really enjoyed your story, I thought you captured the voice of a 12 year old girl very well. And no, I deferred my course in New York for a year and have been working as an intern at the Irish Writers Centre (who I see you are familiar with!)
Hi Saffie, yes I worked with Máire setting up twitter and using the blog!
