Jill and Rosemary have encouraged me to share the news that I was the lucky winner of the poetry competition to win a free place at Swanwick this year. I have just had one of the best weeks of my life and would encourage any of you who haven't been to Swanwick yet to give it a go.

Well done! Hey - not lucky - talented!!!!!!

Thanks, Flick. The win has certainly given me more confidence and I'm raring to go after the week I've just had.  Swanwick breeds inspiration (as well as perspiration!)

Jay Mandal

Well done!

Thanks very much  I'm still reeling from winning in the first place and from the great week I've just had at Swanwick.

I read in WM that the winning pieces, for all 3 comps were to be published on this website - does anyone know where, or do we have to wait a while yet?  Congratulations on your win!  I entered the children's writing comp, sadly did not win...

Bud

Belated well done :)

Did not win the Children's section, but did get second (and a cheque for £100), and a pleasant day there: I stayed the night and went to a couple of talks.As my story had also been placed second last year at Winchester, it has given me the oomph to finish that thriller book for the 12+. Brian.

Anna

Well done.  (Wondered about your name, but having looked up your profile I now understand!)

Jay Mandal

Congratulations!

Carol

Belated congratulations.

Toothlight/aka Brian:  Congratulations on your success.  I remember what you said at the award ceremony and have wondered ever since why you didn't appear at the photo call for winners and runners up on the Monday. Now I know that you were only at Swanwick for a short time, that mystery is solved. I hope you get your well deserved share of the glory in Writers' News when the feature comes out.

Well done to all on your success.
