I knew I was wasting my time entering!!!
Judges report is interesting. Echoes a little what Richard Ford said re: the Davy Byrne entries - that there wasn't enough spark and humour in your stories.
Fantastic - the winners must be over the moon - worth a celebration!

I mean their stories - lol - sorry.
Spark and humour. Hard to put your finger on. Looking forward to reading them. I do highly recommend a subscription to Mslexia, even if you're not lucky enough to be a woman.
