Do Writers online contact you if you've been shortlisted?
I chocked on my porridge this morning when a Rob Kennedy from Edinburgh had been shortlisted for the Short Story Competition.
Now, there may well be another Rob Kennedy in Edinburgh who has entered the same competition and is chauffed to bits - as I am - but I suspect (and hope) not.
Do they not drop you an e-mail to inform you of the good news, or is the magazine the only source? If it's the latter, then best of luck Donald MacDonald from the Outer Hebrides making sense of that.

No, they don't contact those in the shortlist, only the winner so that they can request a photo and bio.
So, congratulations! Woohoo!
When I won - only once! - I got a letter and a cheque!
