A nice surprise on my birthday a book made the top ten in Earlyworks comp

edited January 2011 in - Writing Tales
I had an email to say my book for children made the top ten in their recent competition and I win a signed book from one of the author judges.
And it's my birthday today too so that's brill!
They said my book proved attractive to the readers and there is feedback for me to consider to revise and then try with agencies. So I will!

    I think I'm allowed to say Congrats, because I wasn't involved in the final judging...
