Under the Silver Tree Short Story Competition 2023

I’m overjoyed to have my short story Tied In Knots commended in this wonderful comp run by the Under the Silver Tree Cooperative Bookshop in Broken Hill, New South Wales.

These local literary moments are so important for fostering emerging writers and exposing new writing to significant members of Australia’s literary world via the judge/s. In this case, I’d like to thank Claire Corbett (clairecorbett.com) for judging this competition and commending my work. It was such a thrill to have this outcome!
