Our Winners
Since 2009, thousands of writers have entered one or more of our competitions. We've often wondered what they did next, so we decided to ask them. Many have gone on to win other competitions and have had their stories and novels published. They tell us what the competition meant to them and what they've been been writing since. Find out over on the blog. HERE |
CreativeWritingMatters was founded in 2009 and the years since have gone by very quickly. Our aim was, and still is, to offer encouragement, advice and opportunities to fellow writers through our appraisals, mentoring service and competitions. Opening a new competition submission always comes with a little thrill. Is it this one? Or this one?
During these past years we haven't only been reading, we've also been busy writers. The books on this shelf represent our output. Yes, that's right, there are three of us, but four names on the spines. Sophie is aka Lizzie Lovell. We hope you will enjoy reading our work. |
